Tessa Brooks spends years mourning nine children who vanished on their first birthdays, never suspecting her billionaire husband gave each baby to a different mistress. Pregnant for the tenth time, she overhears Roman promise her unborn child to his newest lover. Trapped by his money, guards, and forged records, Tessa turns to the only man powerful enough to protect her: Roman's supposedly infertile godfather, Gideon Blackwood. "Does your proposal still stand?" Five days later, she disappears to become Gideon's bride, and Roman is about to learn what it costs to treat a mother like a breeding machine.
