Kate Powell owns a
marketing agency and employs three staff.
She has just won a
contract from a large firm to arrange their marketing, but she is not as happy
as she should be. The reason being is that she is a single, independent person
who does not want to enter into a relationship with a man but is desperate for
a baby, especially as she often spends time with her friend Lucy and her happy family
with young children.
She confides in
Lucy that she wants a baby and is thinking of going to a clinic for artificial
insemination. Lucy is horrified and points out all the problems of bringing up
a baby on your own. But Kate is very strong willed and finds an agency where
she can choose her donor. She prefers it this way and advertises for a suitable
donor in some of the professional type magazines.
She only gets one
reply to her advert and when she eventually meets this man she finds that he
would be an excellent donor for her baby and so starts the ball rolling with
the clinic.
Things are
progressing nicely, but after several meetings with her donor she realises that
she is falling in love with him. This leads to them spending a night together
but then things start to go horribly wrong as she finds out that he is not the
man she thought he was.
This is an unusual
subject for a story but it is dealt with very well and although, as a man, I
thought this was not a book for me, I did get hooked on the story as the
thriller starts to develop until finally reaching a dramatic conclusion.
