A love story with a speculative glimmer, Maybe Baby moves between the South Pacific and the Northern Hemisphere. Nate, a grieving widower, is determined to honour his late wife and find a way to have the child they were desperate to have together.
Sadly, he is unsuccessful in finding a suitable surrogate to carry one of their frozen embryos. Nate discovers an international research team investigating male pregnancy and decides to travel to London to take part in groundbreaking trials.
As he grows increasingly absorbed in the clandestine medical trial, he is caught in the complex hinge of three powerful desires: his loyalty to his late wife, a primal urge to be a father, and his knee-weakening attraction to Sadie, who has her own reasons to resist starting a family.
