|---|
"Dr. Jane Darlington wants a baby more than anything in the world, but she also wants to be sure that her child has the normal life she didn't. So to offset her genius intelligence, she decides to seduce the Chicago Star's quarterback. After all, he's the perfect choice. Cal Bonner is gorgeous, physically fit and DUMB! But Cal is a whole lot smarter than he's letting on. And he is not happy about being a pawn in Jane's baby-making game. "

"Jane is an honest-to-goodness genius desperate to have a baby who would never be called a freak. She sets out to impregnate herself by using Cal as a sperm-donor under the impression that he is just another dumb jock. Chaos insues and both of their worlds are turned upside down in their search for peace, parenthood, and love. Ms. Phillips once again spins a funny tale that is a real page-turner!"
