“I’m desperate, Marissa, and you’re the only one I could think of who can help me.”
“You’re in trouble with the law?” Marissa asked.
Blake shook his head, knowing that, as a criminal attorney, she had to ask. “No—at least not yet.”

“Then what do you want from me?” she asked.
“I want you to help me with a baby.”

Eyeing her usually calm employee with concern, Marissa closed the computer file of the legal brief she was preparing. Seldom did anything perturb small and scrappy Kitty Stancel, not even the most hardened criminals who came to Mason and Mason for representation, but something—or someone—had definitely spooked her today. Behind her designer glasses, Kitty’s brown eyes were wide with alarm, and her voice had an uncharacteristic tremor when she spoke.
