No names. No numbers. Just one night with a gorgeous stranger and we’d go our separate ways... But that was before the surprise pregnancy and the unanswered text messages that led to my little white lie, before he showed up at my office a year later and life would never be the same again. When Dr. Addison Rowe's first and only one-night-stand turns into a surprise pregnancy, she comes up with a story about being a single mother... via a sperm donor. After all, she's got a professional reputation to protect.
