Meet Vince Fong... I’ve got a pretty great life, if I do say so myself. I made a fortune when I sold my tech start-up, and I’ve spent the years since partying, drinking, and inviting a parade of women into my bed. I should be happy, but I feel an annoying lack of fulfillment, and there’s no way I’m going back to the work I did before. At a friend’s party, I meet Marissa. We have hot sex against the door and agree to spend the weekend together. Just one weekend. I never expect to see her again. Except now she’s pregnant with my baby…and I think this is the solution to all my problems. This is what will bring meaning to my life. I’m going to be a devoted father and husband. Marissa—whose last name I still don’t know—wants me to be involved, though she rejects my marriage proposal. But before the baby arrives, I’m going to prove to her that I can be something other than a playboy. And the rare times I set my mind to something, I don’t fail… Jackie Lau writes soft and steamy romances with Asian characters, all set in Canada. KEYWORDS: rom-com, one-night stand, one hot weekend, accidental pregnancy, contemporary romance, romantic comedy, playboy, Asian hero, Asian heroine, steamy romance, Canadian romance, foodie romance, happy ending, guaranteed HEA, no cliffhangers, lots of cheesecake, so much cheesecake

Here is how they became criminals and assassins in their effort to establish an Aryan homeland. 8-page photo insert.
