One football player. One personal assistant turned nanny. Too much tension to mention. Paxton I was used to women coming and going in my life, but when a baby I never knew existed landed in my lap, I turned to the one woman I could always count on. For more than a year, Avery has run every aspect of my life seamlessly, with a poise and grace I’d never truly appreciated until I saw her holding my child. Before my eyes, she morphed from personal assistant extraordinaire to hot mama material and I needed her like never before. Avery Like every other female who’d seen him, I was attracted to Paxton Gentry, my boss, the NFL player, who barely paid attention to me. When his ex left Molly with us, I knew they were a package deal and I’d never seen a more perfect package. Suddenly, the man who’d never noticed me wanted me to move in, care for his child, and seemed to be hinting at so much more.

Two lawyers. One divorce. And a past to overcome. Leo Ward Born a billionaire and employed as a corporate lawyer, I was driven, determined and obviously easily distracted by a nice ass. How else could I explain marrying a gold digger? In my defense, Sable was sneakier than most. And one fateful night, she tricked me and changed the course of my life. Now, we’re in the middle of a heated divorce, fighting for custody of our son and my money. I’ve always prided myself on being prepared and thinking three steps ahead, but Liz suddenly reappearing in my life was completely unexpected. We’d been friends in law school, and nearly more. Back then, I’d been forced to let her go. I wouldn’t make the same mistake twice. Elizabeth Prescott Thanks to the partners’ desire for a share of the Ward billions, I was stuck representing his wife in the divorce. Leo was the man I almost dated, until Sable managed to get her claws in him. I hadn’t seen him since. Then we ran into each other at the pool party. Instantly, our old chemistry was triggered and I could tell Leo wanted to pick up right where we left off, but there were two things in the way: his wife, and my heart. He’d nearly stolen it once before during our late night study sessions, but then he suddenly disappeared from my life. No way would I ever let him get close again. After five years apart, all they needed was one night to get back together.

One secret baby. One single dad. One shot at redemption. Tradd They called me a rock god, but from where I stood, I looked like a huge loser. My career had always meant everything to me. Music was my life, until I met Lauryn. Though I never planned to get serious, I fell hard, and for no good reason, she suddenly disappeared. Somehow, she had become the music in my life and without her, everything was meaningless. Then I spotted Lauryn at a wedding, and three things happened. I sang her our song to show I loved her still, I learned we had a son, and through some terrible divine intervention, I had one more chance to make everything right. Lauryn On the rare occasion Tradd shared his thoughts and feelings, it came in the form of a song. Through music, I’d learned he might claim to love me, but he wasn’t ready to settle down. Obviously, I never planned to get pregnant, but when I found out I was, I ran before he could disappoint me. Despite how much I missed him, I’ve done okay being alone, raising our baby, even building a life on the other side of the country. Then when I saw him again, three things happened: we had sex on my desk, I told him about our son, and then I ran again. Everything happens in threes, but he only needed a second chance to make his first love last forever.
