A sexy, new brother's best friend romance from USA Today bestselling author Alexa Padgett. He's my brother's childhood friend. I'm pregnant with another man's baby. What a time to fall in love... Coming home seemed like a good idea at the time. My ex-fianc� split, I was almost done with my master's degree, and I was already working at the family architecture firm. When I move in next door to pediatrician Ryder Mackay, I'm not expecting the connection-or the passion in his eyes that I feel deep in my soul. He's the best doctor for my baby, but he's not the guy I need. Still, the way Ryder looks snuggling my puppy-and my infant daughter-to his rock-hard chest makes me wish this sexy, smart, compassionate man was mine. Maybe, it's pregnancy hormones. Or...maybe this magnetic pull is forever .
