The Florida Arrangement: Book 2 — The Refill

Three months after giving birth to a son who carries Jake's brow — not Greg's — Claire's body demands more. Operating on pure biological imperative, she rents a Pasadena "breeding room," stocks it with ovulation charts and medical thermometers, and engineers a double-ovulation conception with the precision of a VP managing a campaign. But her sister Vivian, a clinical psychologist specializing in reproductive behavior, is piecing together the timeline, the phenotypes, and the scent signatures. As the science validates what Claire's flesh already knows, the lie develops stress fractures that neither she nor Jake intends to repair — culminating in a confrontation that will shatter the arrangement forever.
