Faking a marriage for baby’s sake...
When Lana Hale asks hotel tycoon Kal Bishop to marry her, he can’t let his best friend down! To keep her sister’s baby out of the foster-care system, Lana needs Kal to pose as her husband. Soon his luxury Hawaiian resort sets the stage for an unexpectedly passionate honeymoon...
Before they know it, playing the part of lovers turns into the real thing. And once the need for their ruse ends, Kal faces losing a wife he didn’t even know he wanted. Will the reluctant husband take the ultimate risk and make a proposal of his own?
“Kalani Bishop, would you do me the honor of being my fake husband?”
He pressed his lips together for a moment, then he finally nodded. “I guess so.”
“Yay!” Lana leaped into his arms and hugged him close. She buried her nose in his neck, drawing in his cologne. The familiar scent of her best friend drew a decidedly physical response from deep inside her that she wasn’t expecting.
She pulled herself out of the romantic fog she’d let herself slip into accidentally. “Are you really okay with this?” she asked.
“No,” he said, ever honest, “but I’m going to do it anyway. For you.”
She leaned in to hug him again and spoke softly into his ear. “Thank you for being the best friend a girl could ever have. I owe you big-time.”
Kal chuckled, a low rumble that vibrated against her chest and made her want to snuggle closer to him. “Oh, you have no idea.”

The Baby Proposal is part of Mills & Boon Desire’s No. 1 bestselling series, Billionaires and Babies: Powerful men... wrapped around their babies’ little fingers.
Last year, I took a trip to Hawaii and I knew immediately that I wanted to set a duet of books there. The beauty, the history, the culture...it captured my imagination. When we stepped foot in Maui, I was immediately in love. It was so different from Oahu and the bustle of Waikiki. On our drive to the hotel from the airport, we could see humpback whales breaching. I was hooked. Our hotel was on Ka’anapali Beach and although the weather wasn’t always on our side, it was a lovely place—perfect for my hero’s new hotel. We attended an amazing luau in Lahaina and I knew the characters were set—the hotelier and the hula dancer. Best friends who never anticipated more until one adorable baby girl turned their world upside down.
