An age gap small town romance (waverly's town age gap secret baby series book 1)

\Daisy\ I thought I’d live happily ever after with Shane, my childhood sweetheart. With his musical dreams in full swing, nothing could stop us. . . except for his nasty little affair. He kicked me to the curb, so I turned to the only person I could ever trust—his older brother Theo. Drunk and heartbroken, I found solace in Theo’s capable arms—Theo who’d watched me blossom into womanhood. Theo who’d taught me how to drive. Theo who’d represented everything desirable in a man. He touched me in ways I never dreamed of and made me feel more beautiful than his brother ever had. But I couldn’t fall in love with Theo. He was Shane’s older brother and completely off-limits! That didn’t change the fact he was the perfect man. The perfect man to get me pregnant before leaving for a year-long teaching assignment in South Korea that is. With him halfway across the world and Shane who knows where I had only one question—how had I managed to screw up so bad?

\Odessa\ Pure, meek, and modest—all the things my parents said young women should be. At 21, virginity still intact with no end in sight, I’d started to wonder if they knew what the hell they were talking about. I always tried to be the good girl—to be the daughter they’d raised me to be. Leave it to me to end up flat on my back on my first day in the office of Waverly’s hottest fashion magazine, looking up into the eyes of the most beautiful man I’d ever seen, Victor. Victor the Editor. Victor the widower. Victor the man of my dreams. . . and fantasies. I couldn’t get enough. So what if he was old enough to be my father? So what if he was in charge of my internship? That didn’t change how much I wanted him to give him everything, virginity included! When everything came crashing down, I did my best to leave the past in the past, but a baby has a funny little way of making that impossible. . .

Getting hired to play someone’s girlfriend sounds crazy! \Ember\ But that’s exactly what happened when Waverly’s most successful doctor, Rowan Puskarich, called me up to attend a co-worker’s wedding reception with him. Everyone liked to gossip, but no one knew what his deal was. That sure as hell didn’t stop young socialites from trying to fix the older, jaded doctor though. He hated it, and I hated it for him! He needed everyone to believe we were in love, so what started as a straightforward gig turned into the best performance of my life—the whole town was eating from our palms. We kissed, danced the night away, and whispered sweet nothings into each other’s ears. It almost felt real. . . even to me. In a moment of weakness, we shared a bottle of whiskey and a hotel room. I did everything I could to keep business and pleasure separate, until my growing belly and Waverly’s gossip mill made my life a living hell. So, I did the only thing I could—I ran.
