One minute I'm a single labor and delivery nurse living a quiet life and the next, I'm navigating guardianship hearings, meltdowns, and homework I'm pretty sure requires a math degree.
Enter Hayes Carlisle.
My best friend's older brother.
Chicago Colts newest catcher.
And the man I once kissed and immediately pretended I didn't.
So, when the custody battle I've been dreading becomes a reality, I shouldn't be surprised that Hayes swoops in with a wild idea-a fake relationship. According to him, pretending we're together will polish his image and prove to the court I'm not taking on an instant family alone.
But pretending to be Hayes' girlfriend is a terrible idea.
Because he remembers how to make me laugh.
Because he looks at me like our kiss wasn't a one-time mistake.
Because the kids start asking him to read bedtime stories.
Because my heart starts wanting things my life doesn't have room for.
I can manage the chaos. I can fight for these kids.
But pretending not to fall for Hayes Carlisle?
That might be the one thing I can't do.
