About this ebook

Bradley and his lover Duke are ready to raise their own child. Their good friend Quasar (and her lover Lily) have agreed to surrogacy. The stage is set for this new extended family to begin, as soon as Bradley and Quasar conceive the child during a pre-arranged sexual encounter. But when the big night arrives, the two couples get more than they bargained for when jealousies, hijinks and political correctness get in the way.

Can two gays and two lesbians make one baby? It all comes down to who will survive "the battle of the sex" on Ovulation Night.
