"A marriage of convenience leads to much more"

How far would you go to regain visitation rights to your son? Orthopedic surgeon Kurt Silverman is faced with that question. His lawyer tells him that if Kurt was married, then Kurt would most likely be permitted visitation with his son again. But after his disastrous marriage, Kurt has sworn off love.

Physical therapist Shelly Ware has been feeling her biological clock ticking. Now it's going into triple time with her sister's cancer diagnosis. What if the family Shelly longs for doesn't happen? So Shelly makes an outrageous proposal to her good friend Kurt. She asks him to father a child with her.

Kurt is stunned by Shelly's offer, but after some consideration, he realizes that this could be the answer to his problems as well. He proposes a marriage of convenience, a mutual favor, if you will. Help him get visitation rights restored and Kurt will do his best to provide Shelly with a baby. Both get so much more than they bargained for when they take the plunge.

Kurt and Shelly make a compelling couple. Ms. Jacobs does a good job showing growth in both characters. And they are sexually compatible from the start. The love scenes are hot and plentiful in this novel. Don't miss A MUTUAL FAVOR; it's well worth the price!
