It was supposed to be one night to feel alive after getting out of a dud of a relationship. Now I’m having a baby, and I only have the soon-to-be dad’s first name.

After my breakup, I need to find a job and a place to live, but I can’t move into the house my grandma left me unless I’m married. Fortunately, the guy renting the place doesn’t know that. I stop by to persuade him to move at the end of his lease.

Only when the door opens, it’s him. My one night stand. I do the only reasonable thing possible. I tell him we’re going to have a baby and promptly puke over the railing of the porch. Next thing I know, I’m on his couch and he’s demanding a paternity test.

Except he doesn’t just want the test. He wants to make sure I don’t tamper with the results. Apparently showing up jobless and homeless to convince him to move doesn’t make me trustworthy. Guess I’m not the only one with a dating history that leaves a person jaded.

He insists I stay in the house that should be mine, right where he can monitor me. But the longer I’m around him, the more I can see beyond his gruff exterior. Underneath is a softie who planted acres of pumpkins for his cousin. A guy who wants to reconnect with his family. Someone who makes me feel like the old Violet again. He's a man who makes me want to be more to him than violet promises.
