For years, Rob Frietag has resisted anything resembling a
true emotional connection, preferring instead to explore
life, and his own desires, without committing to anyone for
very long. The reason remains known only to a few, among
them Jack Gordon, his college cohort in female conquests,
and life-long friend. At thirty-seven, while he is close to
achieving his career goal, head chef at a five-star
restaurant in Chicago, he is still very much alone.
After an intensely emotional relationship with Suzanne
Baxter in Ann Arbor, Blake's heart is left shattered.
Completely broken by what he believes was his one true love,
he arrives at a Chicago food and beer festival, prepared to
drink his sorrow away. When the two men meet, their lives
change forever. But time is of the essence. When Rob
acknowledges his true feelings, he will stop at nothing to
keep them together, including finding a surrogate mother for
the child Blake so desperately wants.
Lila Warren is recovering from a nasty divorce, needs cash
and believes carrying their baby will fulfill her in ways
marriage never did. None of them could suspect that the
connection they share would provide the final emotional key
to their life-long puzzle.
When Rob’s secret is revealed, time becomes the one luxury
they don't have, setting in motion a chain of events that
destroys the fragile illusion of happiness for them, and
everyone who loves them.
