I've been in love with my best friend for what seems like forever. But she wanted the one thing I couldn't give her. Now, she's pregnant with another man's baby. The "donor" wants nothing to do with her . . . or the child, so I do the one thing I've always wanted to do. I claim her—and her baby—as mine. She worries the whole town is gossiping. She has no money, no family and she thinks I'm doing this because I feel sorry for her. If only she knew. Allie is my best friend, and I tried to be content with only that. Things have changed though, and I'll stop at nothing until I make her my wife.

Giving into my desires and touching her would make me the worst sort of man. But everyone has their limits.
