Perfect for you if...

You love sports romance where the gruff athlete has a softer side that only one person gets to see.
You're drawn to pregnancy narratives that feel earned rather than melodramatic, with genuine co-parenting chemistry.
You appreciate slow-burn tension disguised as practical arrangements, especially when boundaries start crumbling in the best way.

Maybe not for you if...

You need your romance leads to be confident communicators from the start; Foster's emotional guardedness might frustrate you.
You prefer standalone romance without needing to read the broader series context for full satisfaction.
You're looking for high-stakes external conflict; this is primarily an internal emotional journey.

About this book

A one-night stand with Foster Davis, her brother's best friend and closing pitcher for the Chicago Colts, results in an unexpected pregnancy. Known for his brooding demeanor and reputation for keeping emotional distance, Foster surprises her by stepping up and insisting they navigate parenthood together. They agree to a practical arrangement: co-parenting with clear boundaries and no romantic involvement. However, as they spend time together, the dynamic shifts. Foster shows a gentler side in private moments and looks at her with protective intensity. His carefully constructed emotional walls begin to crack as he lets her in. When physical intimacy enters the arrangement, maintaining emotional distance becomes increasingly difficult. The more time she spends with Foster, the harder it becomes to remember why she ever considered him a risky choice.
