    About this ebook

    A product of the foster care system, chef prodigy Noah Hudson has always dreamed of being a parent. As time goes by, Noah is becoming more and more convinced that his chance of being a father is not going to happen in this lifetime. Deciding to stop waiting for a Mr. Right who may never come along, Noah takes matters into his own hands and turns to surrogacy. However, after a cruel twist of fate, Noah suddenly finds himself responsible for twins and the only way to keep the babies from being separated is to marry his ex, wealthy engineer and philanthropist Liam Jackson. Still bitter from their break-up, Noah wants nothing to do with Liam – until the judge in the case makes him an offer that he can’t refuse.
