Blurb
A steamy friends with benefits, surprise pregnancy standalone novel by romantic comedy author Gia Stevens…
We went from fling to friend-zone. Now I have to tell him he’s going to be a dad.
After my ex-husband left, I became a single mom and vowed never to date a guy in a suit again.
Then Trey Wilson entered my life. The guy who lives in suits. He’s charismatic, good-looking, and charming AF.
Everything that can make any woman swoon, including me.
What started as a one-night fling turned into a mid-morning office quickie, followed by an afternoon rendezvous in my kitchen. Which ultimately led to the purchase of a new table.
After I told him we can only be friends, he’s determined to be my best friend. The more time we spend together, the boundary between friends and benefits blur.
Deep down, I know he’s exactly like the others. Once they get what they want, they’re out the door, leaving me to pick up the pieces of my broken heart. Been there. Done that. And I have a daughter to prove it.
So the moment emotions get involved, I quickly suppress them and do what I know is right.
I end whatever this is.
Except now I can’t do that when the white stick shows two pink lines.

Excerpt
Copyright 2024 Gia Stevens
“Didn’t we go over this?” I push off until I’m standing to my full height and hold up one finger. “Dinner sounds like a date.” I add a second finger. “Dates lead to relationships.”
“It’s dinner. It’s not like I’m asking for your hand in marriage. Unless that will help my chances. I’ll get on one knee right now.”
“Guess what I think about that?”
“What?”
With my other two fingers still in the air, I add a third. Then I curl my pointer and ring finger to my palm leaving only my middle finger.
A grin curls around his full lips. “That was good. But I don’t speak finger, so you have to give me a good reason why?”
“Because you’re… Trey.”
“That’s not a good reason.”
“You’re not my type.”
“Sexy. Confident. Well-endowed aren’t your type?”
I snort a laugh. “More like cocky and full of himself aren’t my type. Plus, you wear a suit.”
“What’s wrong with the suit?” He runs his hands down the lapels of his jacket.
“Nothing per se, but I just don’t do suits. They’re too…suity. It only adds to the cocky and arrogant thing you got going on.” I wave my hand over his body.
“Well, I can fix that.” Trey stands and removes his suit jacket and drapes it over the backrest of his stool. His fingers dig into the knot of his tie, loosening it. Next, he pops the button at his collar.
“What are you doing?” I ask.
“Taking off the suit.”
“You’re going to strip? Right here, in a full bar?”
“Yup.” He undoes a couple more buttons.
I want to tear my gaze away, but I can’t. Instead, I spit out whatever words I can muster. “Keep your clothes on. No one wants to see you naked.”
Nora smacks my arm, and I jerk my head to face her. From the corner of her mouth she says, “Speak for yourself. I kinda want to see what he’s packing underneath.”
I narrow my gaze at her. She shrugs and slinks away but keeps a close eye on Trey in case he does remove the rest of his clothes. She wouldn’t want to miss that. Hell, right now I don’t want to miss it either.
Trey clears his throat and I twist around to meet his gaze. “So, what’s it going to be? Am I getting naked right here or are we going on a date?

🍻Review🍻
Trey has quite the reputation when it comes to women, but he has his reasons. The attraction he has for Rylee is not only unexpected but only seems to grow stronger with every interaction they have. She is the first person in a long time who makes him feel that one night was night enough.
After the demise of her relationship with her ex, Rylee is focused on her daughter Abby and isn’t looking to let another man into her life. She is determined to ensure that the spontaneous and steamy moment between them isn’t repeated however fate has other ideas as not only is he great with her daughter, but they find themselves expecting a child of their own.
The banter between them is both humorous and entertaining and even though neither Trey nor Rylee were looking for a relationship they are about to find out how special it can be with the right person.
