About this ebook

It was supposed to be one night to feel alive after getting out of a dud of a relationship. Now I’m having a baby, and I only have the soon-to-be dad’s first name.

After my breakup, I need to find a job and place to live, but I can’t move into the house my grandma left me unless I’m married. Fortunately, the guy renting the place doesn’t know that so I stop by and find out if he can move at the end of his lease.

Only when the door opens, it’s him. My one-night stand. I do the only reasonable thing possible. I tell him we’re going to have a baby and promptly puke over the railing of the porch. Next thing I know, I’m on his couch, and he’s demanding a paternity test.

Except he doesn’t just want the test. He wants to make sure I don’t tamper with the results. He doesn’t believe me. Apparently showing up jobless and homeless to persuade him to move doesn’t make me trustworthy. Guess I’m not the only one with a dating history that leaves me jaded.

He insists I stay in the house that should be mine, right where he can monitor me. And the longer I’m around him, the more I can see that below his gruff exterior is a softie who planted acres of pumpkins for his cousin. A guy who wants to reconnect with his family. A man who makes me want to be more to him than violet promises.

A great way of bringing the Dukes, Barrons and Knights together. Violet is not the totally self confident woman we meet in An Endless Memory. She is still strong and independent, but she is also vulnerable and left insecure by Willis. Evander is a lonesome man, left feeling on the outside looking in at the rest of his family. Together, their relationship is complicated, but it ultimately brings trust, acceptance and companionship along with love. It was great seeing previous characters.

4.25 stars. This story is dual POV, well written and edited, and sweet and steamy, contemporary, small town, one night to more romance. I empathised with Violet’s need for independence, given her ex’s treatment of her. I enjoyed her pushback against Evander’s bossiness. I enjoyed Evander’s dawning awareness that he wanted more than a co-parenting relationship with Violet, and his recognition that he’d need to proactively work for it. I enjoyed the intimate scenes.
