One night on a beach, four years ago, Derek ran from his childhood crush – his best friend's sister.

Staci Devereaux is one of California's leading fertility specialists, and she has avoided Derek Macgregor for the past four years. However, her efforts to stay away from him come to a grinding halt when Derek decides to have a child, and enlists Staci to help him with surrogates he has chosen.

Despite her feelings for him, Staci accepts that Derek has completely moved on and is never going to get over his fear of commitment.

So, unbeknownst to Derek, Staci volunteers to be a gestational surrogate for her best friend, and at the same time, decides to have a child of her own, via sperm donor ;) – might as well carry two babies at once, right?

No one needs to know that the father of her child is none other than California's own,
Bad Boy Billionaire, Derek Macgregor.
