Blurb: In a future where man’s ability to reproduce is severely compromised, humanity has adapted to survive. Breeders—male and female—have become precious commodities, and they are strictly guarded and subject to limitations.
Luca Walker is a breeder. Though he knows what’s expected of him as the youngest son of the Northern Confederacy’s Vice President, he’s held out against the pressures of an arranged marriage because he longs to marry for love, not duty. But he’s been promised to Colonel Liam Smith and there’s little he can do about it, no matter that Luca is secretly in love with his bodyguard, Marcus Gray.
When Luca finds himself pregnant with Marcus’s baby, Smith is furious and vows to take what is his—by force, if necessary. Now Luca must fight for his life and the life of his unborn child… as well as the love of Marcus and the happily ever after he’s always dreamed of.

Review: Oh wow this story was so good.
After the horrible events of a third war only a select few men and women were able to bear children. These people were known as breeders. I have to say, I absolutely hated how breeders were not given a choice in who they married.
I thought it was crazy that only people with money and in high positions were allowed to marry breeders and produce as many children as possible or they could let the breeder be with someone else.
Luca, a breeder, and Marcus his bodyguard go through several life altering events throughout this book. The two sides that started the war are as different as night and day. I shuddered about what the Southern Union did to their breeders. I was disgusted that anyone would do those things.
I really liked most of the characters throughout this wonderful story. It had its humorous moments as well as tension, action and drama. Some scenes will leave you holding your breath awaiting the outcome.
This was a well written story that holds your attention from start to finish. Hot sex along with a great plot made this a fantastic read.
Highly recommended.
