Friendship is strength. Love muddles everything. And a baby would definitely blur the lines. Amani is keeping secrets. On the surface, she’s envied as a successful influencer with millions of followers, but no one, not even her found family, knows the truth. She’s burnt out, fed up, and devastated over the news that her chances of ever having a baby are slim to none, and she’s running out of time. Adam’s only priority as a Hollywood agent is keeping his best friend, and client's career afloat. In fact, he works so much that he’s almost outrun his painful past when marriage and fatherhood were taken from him. If Adam has learned anything, love is untrustworthy, and he’ll never make that mistake again. The timing is wrong, and neither can handle a relationship right now, so obviously, there’s only one way to address the steamy tension between just one summer with absolutely no strings attached. But when Adam falls under Amani’s spell, he finds himself blurring the lines, and even offers her the ultimate favor… Is a baby between friends really that bad of an idea?
