He became the perfect guy, the perfect husband; the standard I held other men up to. Was it too much to ask to have a carbon copy of him... tattoos and all?  But then he ruined everything.

A cheating snake that couldn't keep it in his pants.  He's married, for f*cks sake! And to make it even more awkward, not only am I living with the couple but I've also made a deal to be their surrogate!  How did my life become so complicated all of a sudden?  Because now, after just one amazing kiss—one I keep reliving—I can't stop thinking about my stepbrother and the baby I want to give him.  Author’s note: This is a second edition of Snake.
