Description

Andrea Barret was devastated.

In one week, she'd lost her baby and discovered her boyfriend balls-deep in some whore. Complications with the pregnancy required extensive leave from work, and they'd had to let her go. Without a job, she had no insurance and quickly burned through her savings. Then doctors told her that after her miscarriage she'd never have another chance at being a mother.

Drowning in despair, the only person she could turn to was an old friend from high school, but they'd hardly spoken in years. Jake was a scrawny boy with a quick wit and a penchant for trouble. He'd gone off to join the marines, and she'd hardly spoken to him since. From his letters, she knew that he had saved up all the money he'd made while deployed and invested it wisely. He was now running his own environmental research company, and had become a self made billionaire.

But Jake had a secret; something strange had happened to him overseas and now he just might be able to give Andrea everything she ever wanted, even if the doctors said it was impossible.
