Phoebe Bardot has always lived by three rules: protect her family's farm, protect her small business, and never let anyone too close. As the devoted daughter of Woodward's beloved mayor, she's spent her life helping others and preserving the memories of her late mother-especially through their favorite coffee shop, the cozy heart of Main Street. But when that treasured café is bought and completely revamped by four mysterious, ridiculously charming brothers, the Lockwood's, Phoebe's world is turned upside down.

Big, broad, brutally protective-and exactly the kind of steady she swore she didn't need. He's not supposed to want her. She's not supposed to crave him. But late nights turn into soft touches, teasing banter turns into stolen kisses, and suddenly, Lucy's falling-hard-for the man who's been there since the moment everything fell apart. He cooks for her. Rubs her feet. Worships every curve of her changing body like it's the most sacred thing he's ever touched. She's carrying another man's baby. But Tim's the one holding her heart. And when the truth about just how many babies she's carrying finally comes out... everything changes.
