Maggie
One wild night to lose myself… instead, I accidentally found myself a baby daddy.
After my ex spent years tearing me down, convincing me I wasn’t enough, the idea of trusting anyone feels impossible. But Lachlan comes into my life and almost makes me believe I’m worth it… and that he’s worth the risk.
He’s so patient and steady, showing up at my door for midnight cravings and morning sickness. Determined to be a part of our child’s life, even if we’re not together.
I’m so tired of being alone, and having someone feels too good to be true.
So when he asks “can we try?” I want to say yes and believe him.
Lachlan
From the first moment I met Maggie, I knew she was one of the good ones.
But it wasn’t until I heard the life-altering news that she was carrying my baby, that I knew I’d support her no matter if we were “together” or not.
I’m all in—for her and the baby. But somewhere along the way, it stopped being about doing the right thing.
I don’t just want to be a part of my child’s life. I want to be part of hers. Not just for nine months. Or eighteen years. I want forever.
And I’ll do whatever it takes to prove that I’m man enough to be what she needs. For both of them.

The night that Lachlan spent with Maggie was a culmination of his escalating feelings for her, but he also understood that she wasn’t ready for more. He was prepared to put that night aside to maintain their friendship, but fate had other ideas when he finds out they are about to become parents. Now he is determined to show her that they belong together not because of the baby but because of their feelings for each other.
Maggie’s past has left a lasting impression on her and doesn’t believe that she can have more than one night with Lachlan. Finding out she is pregnant changes everything as rather than him letting her absolve him of any responsibility he is there every step of the way showing her how she deserves to be loved and treasured.
The relationship between Lachlan and Maggie was enchanting and the depth of their feelings for each other never in doubt even if Maggie was cautious. As always the camaraderie between this group of friends not only adds humor but so many feels as well.
