The Inherited Stranger

When a fertility specialist inseminates the wrong woman with a reclusive billionaire's sperm, three lives collide in a high stakes battle of ethics, emotion, and unexpected love. I never signed up to be a mother and most certainly not to the child of billionaire tech mogul, Adrian Cole. But a disastrous mistake by ClinoWest Fertility Clinic changed everything. Dr Evelyn Lewis’ picture perfect life was falling through the cracks. Her marriage was dying and her mother’s dementia was getting worse. The high pressure fertility clinic she runs, threatens to implode under rising demand from both clients and staff. One too many sleepless nights, she makes the unthinkable error. She inseminated the wrong woman, 28 year old unassuming art teacher called Lana Mendez with the carefully guarded genetic sample of 33 year old reclusive tech billionaire Adrian Cole. I was scheduled for a simple virginal swab, but instead, I was artificially inseminated. This sets me on a collision course with the emotionally guarded Adrian and guilt ridden Dr. Evelyn Lewis. When the pregnancy is discovered, we all collided in a storm of lawsuits, paparazzi, and impossible choices. Adrian wanted an heir even though he had given up on relationships because of the drama that comes with it. I found myself pregnant with a child I never asked for. Dr. Evelyn desperately sought for redemption before she loses everything she had worked so hard to build. As legal threats mount, and media vultures circle, a court mandates the unthinkable. Adrian and I must live under one roof until a custody decision is reached. Love was never the plan, but most people find love in unexpected places. Destiny has a way of rewriting rules. Thrust into each other’s orbits, we all must decide whether to fight or rewrite the meaning of family.
