Six months after "Poison Rose" leaves off, Aerin Dall-McKagan Returns from the honeymoon trip she took with new husband Duff to a big surprise. Neither she, nor either of her husbands knew about the turmoil two of their closest friends were going through - till it all comesta a head when SHE nearly takes a knife to the head over it. Aidan and Ash've been fighting more, but not over the typical culprits - cheating, finances, etc., etc. No, they've been fighting over whether to adopt or give surrogacy a try, their chief deciding factor being the need for a surrogate in the first place. So what happens when they find that surrogate a lot closer to home than either of them ever expected? Will any attempts at such a thing work out, or will they need to stick with adoption, if they want their only daughter to ever have a sibling?
