Ella had always wanted to stay at the Strater, but there had never been the money, not when her mother had been alive or even when she and Devin had been married. They’d spent their wedding night at the cabin instead of luxuriating in the thick sheets and ordering room service. Today she had defiantly booked a room. Because she could, and she wanted Devin to know he wasn’t the only one who’d made good on youthful aspirations. And she’d also done it out of necessity—there was no sense flying back to Denver today. She’d have to change her ticket. There was the small matter of getting to the root of Betty’s story as well as working out their personal issues. Devin had paid for Betty’s treatment. But why? There was more to this than an insurance company’s refusal to pay benefits. There was a human element she could not deny. And somehow her husband was right in the middle of it.

Maybe her boss wanted the bare facts, but for her that wasn’t enough.

She sat on the edge of the plush bed, staring around the historic suite. How had she gotten herself into this mess? Why hadn’t she listened to her lawyer’s advice? It would have been a whole different matter investigating the story if she and Devin were not married. Talk about conflict of interest. She’d thought about asking to be taken off the story, but was afraid it would look grossly unprofessional. Plus she would have had to explain why it was a conflict of interest—that Devin was in fact her husband. The last thing she needed was to bring her messed-up personal life to work. So she’d kept her mouth shut.

Now she was in deeper than ever and feeling guilty to boot. How could she follow a career dream to Boston still married to Devin? How would she manage being a single mother? Despite it being completely unplanned, she already knew the thought of any other alternative was out of the question. This child would know his or her mother. The two problems combined to provide the biggest one of all. She’d grown up not knowing her dad. She couldn’t in all conscience keep the secret from Devin, but how in the world could they possibly agree on how to co-parent?

She lay down on the covers, closing her eyes. Oh, that one got her every time. The guilt she felt now was nothing compared to what she’d feel later. He would have to know, but now was not the right time. The decisions about their marriage had to be about the two of them, not influenced by a baby. That was too much of a responsibility for a child to bear. She should know. It was unfair to put the success of a marriage on a baby’s shoulders.

He had to see reason. Great sex was not enough to carry a relationship. Opportunity and a fresh start were in Boston. And Devin’s life was here, as it always had been.
