“Mom would take you both in, but especially Lola.”

“Well, they have a family business to run, and Lola’s my responsibility. This is on me.” I love my daughter to pieces and when she was born, things changed for me. I wanted to make myself the best person I could for Lola and I worked with her mom to co-parent successfully. By no means were we best friends, but Lola had parents who loved her and could have a conversation about her needs.

Now it’s just me.

“You’re a great dad, Miles. Never doubt that. I get why you’re worried, but Del is it. She’ll help you out for a while.” I look at Andrew and he smiles at me. “All I have to do is call her and we can get this in motion.”

I think back to his sister from the times we met. She is on the taller side and striking, with big green eyes and a gorgeous smile. With that mouth, Delilah could give the team a run for their money with her sass.

Maybe I remember her better than I thought.

“She’ll hold back with Lola, right? I already have to make yo

  • Secret Marriage To My Brother's Best friend    Book 2: chapter 3

    WHAT AM I GETTING MYSELF INTO?DELILAHThe cabin is gorgeous. I look around at the spacious front yard and then back at the large home, wondering how big this place is.My brother and Miles play pro hockey and I know they’re doing well for themselves. Andrew has a large condo in town since he’s more of a city boy, while Miles seems like he wants to keep to himself. He’s always been that way, I’ve heard, and I wonder how well it might work out if I were to be hired.That’s a big if. Andrew told me how protective Miles is about his daughter and based on the sarcasm Andrew and I use heavily together, I probably don’t appear sweet and patient. He doesn’t even know me well since I went off to college just before Andrew began his career in Colorado.Truthfully, I’m great with kids. I babysat often as a teenager and even worked with kids through college at an aftercare program where my friend worked. It wasn’t related to my major as a physical therapist so much, but it was a fun job. My scho

    Not to mention, he might be my employer. Based on Lola so far, she’s the ideal child to nanny for, but I can’t decide if Miles will be a great boss.Dinner is a series of questions from the protective father, covering all the bases. Andrew already vouched for me babysitting when I was a kid and I have a glowing recommendation letter from the daycare I worked at, complete with the certification Miles is looking for.“Why did you work at a daycare?”I swallow my bite and wash it down with soda before finding my words.“A friend got me the job and I figure the experience with kids could help me in the future if I treat any juveniles. They trained me in everything I’d need, though some of it requires me to take a class again, which is no problem. It was a great job.” I’m honest in my answer and he nods, reaching for a carrot.“You’re not looking for something in physical therapy right now? I’d hate to find someone just for them to leave.” Miles’s jaw is set in a near frown, and I admire j

    FINDING INVISIBLE FAULT IN EVERYTHINGMILESDelilah is good with Lola, and I hate her for it. My daughter senses good people and connects with them easily as she had my family and friends that have helped me so much, and now, Delilah is at the top of that list.I have two weeks to settle my mind about her working here for me, and I use them to watch every movement like a hawk. It was never like this when I shared Lola with Kim. I didn’t like everything about her, but Kim was a good mom with Lola.Why do I resent her for dying so unexpectedly? It wasn’t something she set herself up for, just a tragic freeway accident, but I think about these feelings at night after Lola is sleeping. We weren’t far enough into it for things to go south and start vying for full custody on either side, but life has a way of changing things on you in the blink of an eye.I see how Delilah chooses only the best food, using my generous grocery budget to purchase healthy food to cook meals. She strays from my

    “I was planning to head home.” I know that Lola and Delilah are there, and I want to see my daughter.“Come on. Let’s splurge and hit the diner before we really have to discipline ourselves. I can give Andrew a call to see if he’s up for it.” Gabe will not let this go.“Ok, I’m down. I think he’s at dinner with family.” It’s his dad’s birthday next week, not today. Delilah already asked for the weekend off.“Meet you there.” Gabe walks to his Jeep and I follow him to the corner diner I’ve been eating at since I moved here in high school along with everyone else in town.“There are my stars.” We grin at Wendy as she seats us, having known the older woman for years now. “Are you boys going to drop me now that the season is starting soon?”“I think we’ll have to cut back on the cheeseburgers as much as it pains me.”Gabe presses a hand to his chest as Wendy chuckles.“The usual then?” She glances between us and we nod, waiting for our drinks as Gabe looks me over.“Is it the season or so

The darkness of Miles’s eyes plays through my mind and the raw need all over his face sends chills over my body. I press my hands to my face.“Damn it. We were arguing about what an ass he is. That wasn’t supposed to happen.” It can’t happen. Ever.My body wanted him more than anything in the world at the moment, but running away was the best thing for me to do. We can’t go there.“It’s okay. That’s a sad fact about this situation, but all you can do is move forward, Miles. Are you ready to play?”The news had been full of stories about the accident, causing me to become a single father, and fans were both incredible and callous towards me. It was at the tail end of last season and had we been in a spot for the finals, I might have lost it for the team in my state of mind. It’s died down and now everyone is talking about the chance to get the cup this year.“I’m ready. New season, right?” I mee

    CoraStaring at the Colorado Mountains from my hotel room, I realize this corporate retreat is less of a “bonding experience” and more “bored to tears.”Add in Griffin Blake, my boss and personal sunshine, and I’m officially on vacation from hell.When I became the personal assistant for the biggest asshole I’ve ever met, I didn’t think my job duties would mean being forced to go on a trip like this.Although, I didn’t have many options when it came to getting a job.Griffin was my solution, and I’ve been doing my best to avoid him whenever I can.Which is why I’m currently locked in my hotel room instead of at the pool with the lawyers.I let out a dramatic groan, eyes locked on the computer screen as if my stare might magically erase the mountain of debt staring back at me.It’s like my bank account is mocking me, whispering, “You really thought Victor was a catch, huh?”It’s going to take a couple of years just to dig myself out of the hole he put me in—even longer if I do anything

    GriffinFire her. The thought had never fully crossed my mind. I was going to threaten it tonight just to get a rise out of Cora, but she beat me to it.As she stands in front of me with a defiant tilt to her chin, I want to fire her just to prove a point.Cora tosses her raven hair over her shoulder, blue eyes narrowed. Even the freckles across her cheeks seem to blaze with life as she takes a step closer to me.She pokes a finger into my chest. “If you want me to leave your company, just fire me.”I grab her finger and pull her closer, heat radiating between us. “And what if I did fire you right now?”She smirks and snatches her hand back, though she doesn’t bother to move away. “I'd probably be better for it.”“If I got rid of you, I could hire someone capable of doing their job—maybe someone who actually liked me and the work.”Cora takes another step closer, and all I can focus on is the way her body is nearly pressed against mine. “Fire me or don’t, but I’m here to have a good t

    The wary look in her eyes drives a knife into my gut.I wasn’t horrible to Cora when we were younger, but I wasn’t pleasant either. She was an annoyance back then, and I made sure she knew it.Cora rolls her eyes and brushes past me, heading for the door. “I’m civil to you at work. That’s good enough.”A whiff of her sweet vanilla scent envelops me as she turns around. I watch her skimpy black dress hug every curve, accentuating all the right places as she stomps away.She strides out of the bar on long legs that I’m already picturing wrapped around my waist as I pin her against a wall.It’s almost a primal urge to claim her, to make her mine.Would she taste like tequila or whiskey?I quickly follow her out of the bar.Cora leans against the brick wall, the cold breeze not bothering her in the slightest. “Why did you follow me out here?”“I’m not done talking to you yet.” I move closer to her, still drawn in by the curve of her full lips. Her lemon and vanilla perfume wraps around me

    CoraOne Year LaterThe Colorado sun sets, casting a pink and orange glow over the world as I fluff out the skirt of my white dress.Kaleigh smiles, her eyes shining as she helps me adjust my veil. “You are stunning. I can’t believe you’re finally doing this.”I laugh, taking my bouquet of peonies from Sophie. “I’ve been married to him for over a year now.”“Yeah, but this is the real deal.” Sophie wipes away a stray tear. “We’re all so happy for you.”The doors open, and Jake strides inside. “How’s my favorite sister on her wedding day?”I hug him tight. “I’m good. Does this mean they’re ready to start?”Kaleigh nods as the wedding planner gives her a thumbs-up. She gives me a quick hug before hurrying away with Sophie.Jake stands beside me, holding out his arm. “Mom and Dad are sitting in the front row, and they haven’t stopped crying since we got here.”“Jake, please,” I blink my eyes a few times before looping my arm through his, “You’re going to make me cry.”“You look beautiful

    Cora nods and smiles as she leans back, looking content. “I’m looking forward to living with you again.”“Well, you better. And hey, we never did get to fuck on the porch like you wanted; maybe we should take the champagne and celebrate properly.”Cora laughs, a blush creeping down her cheeks. “You were the one who threatened it first,” she says.“You were definitely into it. Couldn’t keep your hands off me,” I tease.Cora rolls her eyes playfully. “Sure, keep dreaming.”“We’ve got an hour before everyone arrives for the barbecue.” I park the car in the driveway and hop out, leaning back toward the open door to look at her. “You coming to celebrate with me?”“I’m coming.” Cora nods eagerly, hurrying inside.I follow her, kicking off my shoes as the door closes behind us. She turns around to face me, kicking off her shoes and pulling her shirt over her head.My cock springs to life as she hooks her fingers in the sides of her shorts, pulling them down her toned legs.She stands in a li
