BEST FRIEND'S BABY


Layla Wilde - 2016
    Now he’s the father of my baby and a football star! We were inseparable until college took him away from me for two years. And it sucked. Reuniting with him meant one thing – mind-blowing, sheet-mingling time together. He was still the boy of my dreams – time apart or not. I never planned to be more than friends with him. Certainly didn’t plan for a friends-to-lovers tryst. But it happened. And it was good. And no, I won’t give him up. Who would want to give up a golden boy with endless blue eyes and messy hair? Victoria was perfect, maybe too perfect. She was everything I wanted but didn’t deserve. She was the perfect girl-next-door. You know, the naïve girl you love so but can never touch. The kind of girl whose heart you know you can’t break? But two years of watching her grow up via video chats had done a number on my heart. And now I want her – in my heart, in my bed, underneath me. I need her more than I cared to admit. Best Friend's Baby is a sexy romance series! This is book one of three books. All three books are complete and published!
