Rylan, a Beta, is stunned to learn he is pregnant after a one-night encounter with Gideon, his longtime rival and a powerful Enigma. Rylan had left Gideon with two hundred dollars and no intention of seeing him again, but the pregnancy forces them back into each other’s lives. Rylan tries to keep the news secret, while Gideon wants to talk about what happened. Their old rivalry and unexpected attraction make every conversation difficult. As they face the pregnancy together, Gideon must show that he wants partnership rather than control, and Rylan must decide whether he can accept help without losing his independence. They ultimately become a family with their daughter.
