Marike is a satisfied woman. She has her business making creative maternity clothes, she has her passion helping pregnant women in need, and she has her absurd house outside Chicago. She doesn't need someone like Will Lambert upsetting the peaceful flow of her days.

Will is a frustrated man. Working a high profile job in Chicago just doesn't feed his soul, but he's going through the motions, doing what he's supposed to do, until he runs across Marike, her bevy of pregnant helpers, and her tumbled-down brownstone.

Will needs some shaking up, and Marike is just the woman to do it. He's just got to make sure she gets shaken up as well. Because it doesn't take much for Will to decide that Marike is The One. Convincing her is the challenge....
