I really enjoyed The Tycoon's Temporary Baby by Emily Mckay. It had a standard marriage of convenience but I enjoyed the execution.

Jonathan is missing the wonder of his executive assistant Wendy, since she's gone to Texas for some family funeral. He sees her in office then dressed casually, and the sparks that he's tried to ignore for five years come back but she is not alone, but has baby. You see Wendy comes from wealthy but interfering family and her now dead cousin gave her the guardianship of her baby daughter.
Wendy wants to keep the baby but knows her family will fight her and she will have to quit the job she loves and that makes her feel she belongs.

Jonathan hastily offers to be her husband to convince her family she can be a good parent. Wendy kind of calls him too restrained and a cold fish and of course he proves otherwise with a kiss. They are hardly married when Wendy's family descends on them.

I enjoyed the book, it was a quick read. Jonathan kind of was a buttoned up guy but I really enjoyed the story and now want to check out if I missed the stories of the other two business partners.

EDIT: The friends stories are Affair with the Rebel Heiress and The Billionaire's Bridal Bid, Baby Benefits also features the heroine from the Affair with the Heiress.
