This is not your typical love story nor is it your typical fairy tale story. Brian, the rich millionaire, and Connie, a lonely employee, can not be farther apart than the oceans. Brian is on the cusp of a new deal, and while walking the client around and introducing him to his staff, Connie comes up and insults the client. He drops the deal and leaves Brian missing out on making the money needed to become the billionaire he has his eyes on becoming. Needless to say after causing him to lose out on the deal she gets fired.

Since she just got fired, Connie heads to a bar around the corner from the office and while sitting there drinking, who else shows up but Brian. She spots him quickly and tries to leave without him knowing she is there, but fails. Brian actually tells the bartender to get her another drink and to put it on his tab. After some drinking and flirting they end up back at his penthouse. Connie sneaks out in the middle of the night.

Time goes on and two months later Connie shows up at the office to see Brian and to inform him she is pregnant. By now he is with someone else and tells her to come to the house later so they can tell his girlfriend; Brian and girlfriend have just struck a business deal to merge their companies together and get married. He informs Connie that he has already told her and they have a plan or two. Connie now has two options: to sign the rights away and give them the baby or for Brian to sign all his rights away and pay her off. Connie takes option two but it is Brian who can’t stick to the deal.

During the pregnancy, Brian sends daily text to her, goes to the doctor appointments with her, and is there for her in general. As the pregnancy grows so do their feelings for each other until one hot and steamy night leaves them both feeling confused, Brian more so than Connie. He has his mind set on making money-logical things, not emotions. After their night together he distances himself from her until the end of the pregnancy nears, then things start changing.

I have read other stories by this author and have been able to connect the characters more than I was with these two. I just feel like it could’ve had more with them together but it was still a decent read. It is a quick and easy read.
