Lauren Holt had been raised as a well-bred Southern lady--to do the proper things, make wise, safe decisions and--most importantly--to defer to her menfolk. So, when her husband had insisted that she bear him a child by artificial insemination, she obeyed, as her marriage vows required.
She'd always played by the rules, but now that she was on her own, a widow with a son to support and a high-tech business under siege, Lauren was no longer even sure what the game was.
Enter Ryder Bryden, robotics expert extraordinaire, an uncompromising man with his own ironclad game plan. Winning Lauren and her child was all he wanted out of life--but was he willing to pay the price?
