Heart of Hope

I made a mistake. A huge mistake. I knew I shouldn't have left. The town. My life. Him… Nick, my brother's best friend, had me at first touch. It's hard to resist a hot doctor like him. Even for an innocent girl like me. He's a perfect blend of muscle and brains. And the way he trails his fingers across my curves melts me. I've spent years in the big city, longing for him. Now, I'm back in my hometown. Back in the same place as Nick. Working for the same damn hospital. What are the odds? The universe has pushed us back into a forbidden relationship. Right in the middle of a crisis. A lawsuit. Well, it's a good thing I'm an attorney. I can make it go away in a second. But what about the crisis that I have no control over? Nick got me pregnant. The last thing I wanted was an accidental pregnancy. But could it be the only thing we both need? Contains mature themes.

I'd always found Irish men to be irresistible. And Devin? He's the hottest one of them all. I had my chance with him. Heck, I even have a baby with him. A four-year old boy. My only secret. I lost my V-card to Devin on St. Patrick's night four years ago. My biggest mistake was thinking that I could trust him. Hot men like him are trouble. Besides, he made it clear to me that he hates kids. Hates. Fast-forward to when he meets our little boy. A meeting that I tried my hardest to avoid. I might have expected them to get along but... best buddies? Devin is supposed to hate kids, remember? It's only a matter of time until he finds out his birthday. And when he does... Oh boy!

One plan. One fake marriage. One big disaster. Everything about Dylan melts me. He's more than that ripped chest ... those strong arms. The best thing about him is his daughter. The daughter that I babysit. He shares Maisie with his ex-wife. But I see the concern in his eyes. He wants his daughter to be loved, to be safe ... and he needs my help. A fake marriage with me would win him the custody battle. The only hiccup? I let him take my V-card and get me pregnant. I shouldn't have kept it a secret. Now, I have a baby and divorce papers on the way. After all, our relationship was always fake ... or was it? Contains mature themes.

A broken marriage. A broken heart. A broken home. Brayden and I have everything going against us. There was a time when we were madly in love. Our laughter still echoes in my ears. They say marriage is built on trust. They said love is the foundation. I wonder if we have either of those now. And what's worse? I've been diagnosed with a life-threatening illness. Divorce or death. I have no clue what comes first. But they both feel the same. Brayden still has my heart. And I have a feeling that he wants to keep it. Will he fight for us and give our love a second chance? Or is this the end of an era for our family? Contains mature themes.
