One anonymous night at a conference. One stranger with blue-gray eyes. One pregnancy test. And one pitch meeting where she discovers the father is Jasper King—her family’s sworn business rival for forty years.
💬 Summary:
The Ross Agency and King Industries have been bitter enemies since Maren’s grandmother and Jasper’s grandfather destroyed each other decades ago. Maren grew up hearing how the Kings were ruthless destroyers. Then she had one incredible anonymous night in Miami with a stranger whose name she never learned. Now she’s pregnant, planning to raise the baby alone—until she walks into the biggest client pitch of her career and sees Jasper King sitting across the conference table. The father of her child. Her family’s enemy. As they’re forced to compete for the same client over eight weeks, stolen glances turn into secret meetings, and Maren realizes the man who got her pregnant is nothing like her family said. When both families discover the truth, accusations fly: Did she trap him? Did he seduce her to steal secrets? Now they’re caught between inherited grudges and a baby who doesn’t care about decades of family warfare.
