The Tycoon's Temporary Twins

Book excerpt: Jed Shields needed a baby for the short term. He didn’t expect two! Sophia Simms hasn’t got time for love. When she meets a gorgeous, charismatic stranger at a friend’s engagement party, however, she finds herself letting her guard down for the first time in a long, long while. As two independent spirits seeking to escape a room full of gooey couples, the pair find solace in each other’s arms, if only for one night. Weeks later, when she finds out that she’s pregnant, workaholic Sophie realizes her life is about to change forever. But how will the gorgeous stranger take the news? Jed Shields is a self-made billionaire with political aspirations; a wannabe mayor who lives by the mantra that nothing lasts forever. When he discovers that he’s going to be a father, he couldn’t be happier: a baby will bolster his appeal to voters all over the city, making him a shoo-in for the mayoralty! Sophia is horrified that Jed thinks of the baby only as a short-term convenience, and sets out to prove him otherwise. But as they grow closer—and Sophia finds out that she’s expecting twins—can she trust that Jed is falling for the idea of starting a family, or is he thinking only of the votes? Will Sophia succeed in showing Jed the true meaning of family?
