Champagne Venom

I spent the night with a stranger…

Who got me pregnant…

And turned out to be my boss…

Whoops, sorry, did I say “boss”? I meant a MOB boss.

To be fair, I didn’t know he was my boss when I slept with him.

I thought he was just the kind stranger offering me a place to stay.

But one night in Misha Orlov’s hotel room got me way more than I bargained for.

It got me champagne that tasted like starlight.

Satin sheets as soft as a dream.

And a man with silver eyes who showed me how it felt to come undone.

And then, in the morning…

He was gone.

That’s okay. I needed to get my life together anyway.

After all, my ex-not-quite-husband (it’s a long story) just emptied all our bank accounts and disappeared, taking my home and my money and my job with him.

So I’m starting from a blank slate.

I find myself a new apartment.

A new job.

And I put both Misha and my husband behind me.

At least, I thought I did.

Until Day 1 of orientation.

When I learn that Misha Orlov is my new boss.

That’s bad enough.

What’s worse is what came next.

A car crash.

A doctor’s appointment.

And two pieces of unsettling news.

“Congratulations,” the doctor says. “You’re pregnant.”

“Congratulations,” Misha says. “You and I are getting married.”
