World-famous Whitney \u201cSahara\u201d Richardson is at the top of her game. With four Grammys, an Oscar nod, and a billion-dollar clothing line, her career is skyrocketing. Even her headline-grabbing dating life is looking up. And if everything goes as planned, marriage and children are just a few years away\u2014and they will come in that order.<\/span><\/p>\n

That is…until a mix-up at the fertility clinic where her eggs are stored puts the cart before the horse. Oops. Sahara suddenly has a daughter\u2026whose father has made it clear that the last thing he<\/em> wants is to share her.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t want to complicate the situation any more than it is already.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Which was the truth. All he wanted was to protect his daughter. She needed stability and normalcy, something a celebrity parent couldn\u2019t provide. Haylee deserved parents who wanted and loved her, and as the status of his marriage plainly indicated\u2014divorce: pending\u2014the only person she\u2019d get that from was him.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cIt won\u2019t. I promise it won\u2019t.\u201d She leaned forward, her hand gripping the arm of her chair, a silent plea in her beautiful brown eyes. \u201cI just want to meet her. And I won\u2019t stay long. Just tell me the place and time, and I\u2019ll be there.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Fuck. Why did she have to be so\u2026not what he expected? He\u2019d come prepared for one of those \u201cDo you know who I am?\u201d Hollywood types, her vanity and ego covered in beauty a millimeter deep.<\/em><\/p>\n

Or maybe that was the woman he hoped he\u2019d be dealing with.<\/em><\/p>\n

Unfortunately, Whitney Richardson\u2019s beauty wasn\u2019t airbrushed or Photoshopped, and if her vices were vanity and ego, she was a magician at hiding them. Maybe that meant he could take her at her word.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat about this?\u201d He tapped his finger on the ten-page document on his desk that would grant him sole legal custody of his daughter. \u201cWould you like to go over this now?\u201d He was hopeful but not holding his breath.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cBefore I sign anything, I\u2019d like to go over it with my lawyer. You don\u2019t mind if I take it home, do you?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Yes, he minded, but then again, what choice did he have? It was a legal document. Of course, she wanted her lawyer to look it over. She didn\u2019t know him from Adam and had zero reason to trust him. Buried in all that legalese could be a clause that stipulated she pay eighteen years of child support. But he knew he wouldn\u2019t be able to breathe easy until he got her signature on the dotted line.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThat way, we can finish it up at our next meeting,\u201d she said when he was slow to respond. \u201cPlease.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The softly spoken one-word plea finally got her what she\u2019d been pushing for the past five minutes. Not that he could refuse, given the choice appeared to be no visit, no signature.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cHow about Saturday at one?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

A smile broke out across her face, and if he thought she was beautiful before, she was positively breathtaking now.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThank you so much. You have no idea what this means to me,\u201d she said, her eyes bright with emotion.<\/em><\/p>\n

Oh, he had a good idea. He just hoped the visit was going to be what it took to bring their association to a close. Then Haylee and he could go on with their lives.<\/em>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

And if everything goes as planned, marriage and children are just a few years away\u2014and they will come in that order.<\/p> <p>That is...until a mix-up at the fertility clinic where her eggs are stored puts the cart before the horse.
