The one person who with you wish you could have had that magical fairy tale ending. For me that was Connor McLean. My brother's best friend. I've loved him my entire life. And I've been the invisible sidekick. The pesky little girl with fluffy hair and gangly legs. I always thought I'd grow up and he'd finally see the real me. That he'd watch the little girl blossom into a woman worthy of his love. But he left. Connor joined the SEALs and broke my heart. So, when I see his familiar swagger across the bar. When his cocky smirk makes my heart flutter, I know this is my chance. It's wrong to deceive him. To pretend I don't know him. But I need him to give me one night. One chance to see that I'm not a little girl anymore. However, my secret is nothing compared to the one Connor has been holding all these years. The one that could tear us apart before we ever have a chance. *** Author's Note:*** This book was originally published as “The Woodsman’s Baby” in June of 2017.
