About this ebook

She's his older brother's ex. He's wanted her for years. And now he's offering to give her a baby… the old-fashioned way.


Ian

Sunny was the star of every one of my teenage dreams. The girl down the road. My oldest brother's first love. Off-limits then. Off-limits now.

I'm an orthopedic surgeon in Houston with no plans for a wife or kids. So when Sunny tells me she's going it alone, trying for a baby with an anonymous donor, I should wish her luck.

Instead, I offer myself.

Not in a jar.

Sunny

The gangly little brother I used to play guitar with grew into a gorgeous, bearded surgeon. And apparently, he's lost his mind.

Twenty years later, our small town still thinks I'm pining for Sam Duke. Imagine the gossip if I turned up pregnant by his baby brother.

But my first try with a donor didn't take. I'm turning forty. And Ian's offer comes with something no anonymous donor can give me: a family who already loves me.

Not to mention a New Year's kiss I can't stop thinking about.

Blame it on forty, but I say yes.

We put it in writing. No obligations. No strings attached. And absolutely no one can know.

It's supposed to be simple. A baby, a secret, and a little fun along the way.

Except the more time I spend in Ian's arms, the harder it gets to remember why we need an agreement in the first place.

Everything's breezy… until it rains.


A steamy, emotional, brother's-ex romance featuring:

A younger surgeon who's wanted her for years

An older heroine determined to become a mother

A secret baby-making agreement with no strings attached

Small-town gossip, forbidden attraction, and a family that loves them both

Dual POV, plenty of heat, and a guaranteed happily ever after

3.5 stars, 3 steamy kisses pregnancy issues, childhood crush, reverse age gap, small-town vibes, brothers ex-gf, ex-bf younger brother, miscommunication, flashbacks, angst I thought this was going to be a 4 star read for me from the start but unfortunately, I just couldn't get over the flashbacks in time and the miscommunication between the main characters. I did enjoy the reality of the hero's profession and the honesty in pregnancy struggles.

Holy wow. I think I loved this pair about as much as they drove me batty. It was easy to see how much Ian adored his Sunny, but it hurt my heart to watch her view him as only a friend. And when they were finally able to cross that divide, and my gooey marshmallow heart was happy for them falling in love, I wanted to bang their heads together over all the things they should have said earlier but didn’t. In the end, I kind of feel like this story was a celebration of ‘chosen family’, because wheth
