Wish You Would

It wasn't that long ago that I vowed to stay away from Holden Banks. He's stubborn, cocky, practically intolerable. And now he's my new roommate.

Suddenly, the two of us are sharing dinners, secrets, late night massages. Did I mention the guy is drop dead gorgeous? This was not in the plans when I moved back to Reed Point.

I know all about Holden's reputation. He's a notorious player. A heartbreaker who is way too attractive for his own good, with his smouldering smirks and piercing green eyes.

But it turns out he's also sweet and thoughtful, even taking care of me when I get sick. Maybe that's why, in a moment of weakness, I offer to be his fake date to his ex's wedding. This is starting to get complicated—and dangerous.

There's no denying the explosive chemistry between us, but we're also complete opposites in every way. I'm a free spirit, he's a Type A neat freak. I'm a romantic, he's quick to remind me he doesn't believe in love. Oh, and he's also newly celibate.

That is, until a night out with our friends and a few too many tequilas ends with me in his bed. I tell myself it's just one electrifying night and come morning, I'll forget it ever happened. But the filthy things he said to me are unforgettable.

Soon, lines are blurred, and our relationship starts to feel very real. After all, what's more real than finding out I'm pregnant with his baby?
