A while ago, I posted about a book where the h goes to the H letting him know she's pregnant and that she needs his financial help.
He helps like any H in these books to takeover her life and this feisty h puts up a good fight.
Everyone tried to help find this book and I thank you. I thought I would share the name, it was "A Little Magic" by Rita Clay Estrada. I couldn't find too much about the author or her library of work, but I finally found it! Huzzah!
