Francesca had always believed herself to be the stupid one of her four sisters. Being teased as a child she struggled to become a psycologist to help prove she is not the dumb one in the family. She had married at eighteen, following family traditions, being eye-candy for an older man who died leaving her a young widow.
Francesca has a variety of costumes she dons for different senarios to see how people react to use in her dissertation. Sam is a very sexy and helpful man who aids her when she is in her "pregnancy" suit. Falling for him quickly, they agree to have a sexual fling, not strings attached.
At the start, Sam is suddenly presented with a brand new twelve year-old daughter that his ex-wife and mother had kept from him. Trying to get to know her, and all the disruptions adds to the complications of a new relationship with Francesca. The further drama for her is an unknown older brother that had been given up for adoption.
The story starts a little slow. Lots of people and relationships to decipher, but really enjoyable to the end.
