My Secret Wife — Cathy Gillen Thacker

Dr. Gabe Deveraux hated to see any woman cry -- especially his good friend Maggie Calloway. So when the feisty designer turned to him with tears in her eyes, needing a strong shoulder to cry on, there was no way the good doctor would turn her away. The cause of her distress: Maggie wanted to have a baby before it was too late! Ever the knight in shining armor, Gabe agreed to help Maggie get pregnant. Only, he had one stipulation -- they marry in secret...and conceive the old-fashioned way.

But soon toe-curling kisses and long nights spent in each other's arms forced Gabe to admit the truth -- he'd secretly loved Maggie for years. Was it too late to make their in-name-only agreement oh-so-real?
