Second Chance Romance Love-at-first sight--faster-paced love affair Single father Surprise baby HEA standalone Five years ago, my life changed when my wife left my two-year-old son and me in the middle of the night-breaking my heart. After that, I vowed to friends and family that I'd never fall in love again and would only focus on raising my autistic son and working on my farm and horse ranch. That was until a beautiful blonde-haired, green-eyed beauty moved to my town--changing my life forever. Being stubborn, I did everything I could not to let my ticker control me and my thinking process--avoiding eye contact with Josie, conversations, and what my ticker, mind, and soul was telling me... But then I saw Josie daily at the diner she worked at and became jealous whenever Jack, the town's annoying wanna-be cowboy, tried striking a relationship up with her. I always felt my wife, Hailey, would return to Maverick and me, and we'd be a family again. But the more time I focused on the new girl in town, the more I wanted Hailey out of my life, and the more I wanted Josie in mine. Then, one night, my life forever changed when I allowed a door to open and gave Josie something I said I'd never give--my ticker. Credit for cover: selfpubbookcovers.com/AKcoverdesign

❤️🔥⚠️Praise for TEMPTING EVE "I am honestly OBSESSED with this story." "...it's just so good. It's probably one of the best Wattpad books I have read to date. Which is saying a lot. It's something I would go into the store and definitely want to buy." "Oh my the tension! God! I can't get enough of your book!" ***** EXCERPT FROM TEMPTING EVE:❤️ "I've never," my voice wavered. "I mean, it's my first..." He nodded, his nose almost brushing against mine. "Then let's make it good." I was about to pull away when he put his teeth on my lower lip and squeezed. Not tight enough to hurt, but enough for my virgin mouth to gasp, parting my lips and allowing his tongue to slip inside. His tongue stroked mine as he pulled me more firmly into his body, his tall frame curled around me. Something hard pressed into my stomach, and both of our breathing became faster, shallower, as if the oxygen in our tiny sphere of warmth was fading. He slowed the kiss and without thinking I licked his lips, begging for more. He laughed, deep and husky, resting his forehead against mine. "Happy New Years," he whispered. Then he shrugged his jacket off, put it around my trembling shoulders and walked away.

I stood outside his door, suddenly nervous. I knocked and heard a gruff 'come in' before stepping into his office. He didn't even look up at me when I entered. "I'm pregnant." I blurted out. He continued writing, not paying me any mind. "Take off whenever you feel like it, then. Lisa will escort you out." I reeled back, anger creeping up my spine. He thought I was one of his employees. "It's yours." I stated and that's when he froze, looking up at me for the first time since I'd entered the room. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Arielle Fortunato is the heir and daughter to the famous Italian billionaire, Antonio Fortunato.

He's an overachieving billionaire and a sought after bachelor. The press says he will sleep with anything that walks and he always, ALWAYS uses protection.
