THE BABY IN THE HOSPITAL WAS KADE’S.

THE MOTHER WAS STILL MISSING.

One look at the baby girl, and there was no question Kade Ryland was the father. For three months, Kade had
posed as Bree Winston’s husband at the Fulbright Fertility Clinic, while the two FBI agents investigated a trail of illegal adoptions and surrogates. Nine months later, a baby was dropped at his feet—and Bree was nowhere to be found. Now Kade had to reopen a case that had gotten way too personal and fi nd Bree—fast. But if the two of them had never been a real couple, were they ready to be parents? Whatever the answer, Kade now had more than one reason to close this case once and for all.
