All I crave is motherhood—the family I’ve been dreaming of building with Vincent. But nature has other plans. Despite our efforts and prayers, his body refuses to cooperate, leaving me empty and aching for the one I desperately want. Then Julius appears, his identical twin, slipping into our home and into Vincent’s role with a deception so obvious I see through it immediately. Yet I say nothing. Perhaps this substitution is the solution I’ve been seeking. I’ll play along with his charade, let him believe I’m fooled, and welcome him into my bed. If his seed proves stronger than his brother’s, I’ll finally have what Vincent couldn’t give me.
