She planned a scorching one-night stand. Now, two pink lines have created an eighteen-year commitment.

For successful New York defense attorney Cicely Melendez, her annual girls' trip is a sacred weekend reserved for pure, no-strings-attached passion. In a crowded club in Buenos Aires, she spots Haider-dark, swarthy, and imposing-a man capable of checking all her boxes. Their intense connection erupts into forty-eight hours of explosive pleasure. When Cicely slips away without a word, she expects the wild encounter to remain nothing but a hot memory, keeping her professional life and her heart safe.

Six weeks later, Cicely is suffering from constant exhaustion and nagging nausea as she accompanies her best friend, Tucker, to a wedding in the Rocky Mountains. The last thing she expected to find was her hookup as part of the wedding party.

Haider Issac, a man who knows what he wants, had already decided Cicely-the woman he nicknamed "Firestorm"-was his "one," and he refuses to let her disappear again. He is immediately possessive, brushing aside her resistance and demanding to know who has been taking care of her.

But Haider's concern quickly turns to shock when Cicely reveals the true source of her illness: a passing comment and four positive tests confirm she is pregnant with his baby. Haider, who has longed to find her and tie her to him since they met, is thrilled, immediately offering to abandon his life and move to New York to be there for her and their child.

Cicely, fierce and independent, insists she needs nothing from him. But Haider is determined to win her over, promising to be her haven for life. She wanted a fling, but he sees forever. Can Cicely open her heart to the man who burned his way into her life and the unexpected family they created?
