Lucy never planned to fall for anyone, let alone her boyfriend's best friend. But when Eli walks out the second she finds out she's pregnant, it's Tim Bradford who shows up. 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.
