Sitting in the break room at the TV station killing time before her appointment, Britt couldn’t quite meet Ria’s gaze. She sipped her orange juice, wondering why no one had figured out how to caffeinate juice. Oh, wait. That would be soda pop. But as far as coffee was concerned, her doctor insisted she cut back on the only substance guaranteed to get her through the day.

“Girl, you make me crazy.” Ria tsked, shaking her head, an indulgent expression on her face. “At least he’s stepping up and taking responsibility just on your say-so. That’s got to be a first in that family.”

She snorted. “Oh, he demanded a DNA test, but he’s also convinced that he’s the father.”

“Which he is. You’re my best friend. I can count the number of men you’ve slept with on one hand. And none of them in at least the last year. Of course he’s the father.”

Coughing to hide her mutter, Britt said, “Two years.”

She’d been such an idiot that first time with Cooper. Seeing Leo—a huge man full of muscles and swagger—felled by a stupid trash can lid had done something to her. Watching the water rise, the wind rip buildings apart, knowing that people were going to die? All of that settled deep in her soul, making her understand how fragile life truly was. And how alone she was. When Cooper opened the door to the BarEx offices, all she’d wanted to do was burrow into his arms and hide. To do something spontaneous and outrageous and not like her. So she had. She’d grabbed life with both hands and propositioned him.

That night had been totally worth it. And then when he’d rescued her and the others that next night? And the morning that followed? Heck yeah, she’d cut and run both times out of fear and a sense of self-preservation. The man was a potent combination of funny and handsome, of brains and muscles, and all the things that made the alarm on her biological clock ring. And when that condom broke? Her sadly neglected ovaries must have gone into overdrive.

“I’m an idiot,” she muttered.

“Yes and no. I think you’re being smart to take things slow.” Ria reached across the table and squeezed her hand. “He’s taking care of the bills. That’s only right. And he’s interested. Good grief, the chemistry between you two is off the charts. Get to know him.” She held up her free hand, cutting off Britt’s intended retort. “I’m aware he asked you to marry him, and you think it’s out of some antiquated sense of duty. Maybe it is but let me tell you, Miz Britt, men like that are few and far between. Date. Let him take care of things. Get. To. Know. Him. Who knows? That chemistry might just turn into the real deal.”

And that was precisely what scared her the most.
