Single mother of twins, Angel Carmichael is desperate enough to take a belly dancing gig at a bachelor party after being laid off from L.J. Steele. She must keep her babies fed and the mortgage holders at bay.

When the dancing gig takes an unexpected turn, disaster opens the door for destiny in the form of Zachary Taylor—a hunky workaholic whose sense of decency doesn't extend to keeping his hands off an L.J. Steele employee he'd let go sight unseen.

For Zach, doing what's necessary to keep a failing company from going under is nothing new. But forming a "friends with benefits" relationship, is. He never expects to fall for Angel, or her darling twins, Faith and Hope.

But there are no easy answers as the ever-ticking clock winds down on L.J. Steele and a mother's protective instincts clash with the needs of her body and soul.
