infertility treatments and adoptions that have fallen through, it seems
like motherhood is not in her future. That is, until her personal assistant
Monica makes a generous offer that will make all of Abby's dreams come
true. But it turns out Monica isn't who she says she is. The woman now
carrying Abby's child has an unspeakable secret. And she will stop at
nothing to get what she wants." -- From publisher. Unrated. Commercial
