"Having a baby was supposed to be a happy occasion, but Pru Kenyon wasn't smiling. True, her relationship with live-in lover Case McCord was both electrifying and deeply satisfying. But she didn't have the benefit of a ring on her finger... Pru wasn't about to force Case's hand by revealing her secret. She knew he'd propose out of a sense of duty, rather than love. And if she couldn't have his love, she didn't want him." -- Back cover.
