Falling for my best friend's brother was not a part of my plan... especially when I was pregnant with someone else's child. In my defense, I got pregnant by a guy who wants absolutely nothing to do with me or the baby. And, just when I thought things couldn't get worse, I find out that my health insurance covers nothing for maternity care. Being in this alone is scary enough, but trying to figure out how I'm going to pay for my medical care? That's a whole new level of terrifying. When Nash Simmons-my best friend's brother, and Aston Archers star hockey player-finds out about the predicament I'm in, he steps in to save me from a financial disaster with an offer I can't possibly refuse. His proposal: I marry him for his insurance and we get it annulled after the baby is born. It seems like the perfect solution, but as our arrangement unfolds and we continue to grow closer, it becomes even harder to ignore the electricity sizzling between us. The lines between real and fake are starting to blur, and I can't help but wonder if there's room for my son and I in his future. Or am I only fooling myself by thinking this could ever be more than what it was supposed to be?
