There is only one reason she needs a man - for a single, viable sperm cell. Badass biker chick Nicole Judge is caught off guard by the unexpectedly powerful maternal instincts that pour through her when she holds her friend's newborn. She suddenly wants a baby of her own. But Nicole hates men. Even her success working for a very masculine boss in his male-dominated construction company can't wipe away her painful early experiences with the gender. Men are poison. But maybe there's another way... Ryan Riordan is pleased with his life. His home construction business is thriving, and he's blissfully single again after his second failed marriage. Nothing is missing. Then his extremely efficient office manager admits she's trying to get pregnant using an anonymous sperm donor. Nicole? The leather-loving, motorcycle-riding office terror is doing anything so feminine as having a baby? Despite himself, Ryan starts viewing Nicole in a whole new light, a womanly light. And he remembers his own dead dream of having a family. But would donating sperm for Nicole's baby project be enough to scratch that itch? Ryan is pretty sure he wants more than nominal fatherhood. And as he grows closer to Nicole, he realizes he wants more from her than an incubator for his child. But can he convince her not all men are poison? For that matter, can he convince himself to try marriage again - for the third time?
