Heartbeat

"Bill Thigpen had his finger on the heartbeat of America as writer and producer of the No. 1 daytime drama 'A Life Worth Living'. He was so busy watching his career soar that he never noticed his marriage collapse - until it was too late. Now, nine years later, living alone in Hollywood, life is still reasonably sweet. Top-of-the-chart ratings, good-natured casual affaris, and special vacations with his two young sons are all he wants out of life. His life is in perfect balance. Adrian Townsend thought she had everything: a job she liked as production assistant for a network TV news show... a handsome husband she loved, who was a rising start in his own field. It was an enviable life they'd worked hard for - The American Dream. Until she got pregnant. Suddenly all was chaos. And Steven's ultimatum. Him or the baby. The question was: did he mean it? Bil Thigpen and Adrian Townsend collided in the supermarket at midnight. And the very sight of her suddenly made him want more in his life..." -book jacket.
