*** LARGE PRINT EDITION ***WINNER - Bisexual Book Awards, EroticaFINALIST - EPIC Award, EroticaFINALIST - Holt Medallion, Extra Spicy/EroticaAfter years of trying to complete their family, Gabe and Shahid are at the end of their tether. When yet another adoption falls through, Gabe is ready to give up. Shahid isn't far behind him. Apparently being a gay couple-half of which is Muslim-is just one strike too many. Then their friend Kendra suggests carrying their baby for them. None of them like the odds or invasiveness of IVF, but there is one other method they could use. Though Shahid is gay, Gabe is bi, and they both quickly warm up to the idea. Especially when they realize just how much chemistry they have with her. It's a simple plan-Kendra will have the baby, they'll all share parenting responsibilities, and the means of conception will be a hell of a lot more fun than adoption paperwork or medical procedures. As things heat up between Kendra and Gabe, though, Shahid's long-buried insecurities about being with a bisexual man bubble to the surface. When some medical news stops everything in its tracks, they realize just how many emotions are involved. And no matter how they play this, one person might be left out in the cold.
