Never Really Mine (Ivy Ridge) by Alice Daniels

What happens when you have a drunken one-night stand with your childhood best friend? I’ll give you a little hint.

Two pink lines.

I’ve been in love with my best friend Beau Cunningham, since… well, forever. Only, risking losing him isn’t an option. He’s the person I can call when I’m at my lowest; the one who pulls me out of the darkness. I have to live with the fact that he will never really be mine.

Until one drunken night changes everything. I wake up next to Beau, and do what I do best when faced with confrontation.

I run.

Except I can’t run from the fact that eight weeks later, two lines show up on the pregnancy test. Those two pink lines change the trajectory of both our lives, and I know I need to keep my emotions in check to protect my heart.

Beau has always shown me that he’s here for me in every way possible, and he doesn’t waver once we find out I’m pregnant. He’s all in and wants me to know it. Can I let myself fall, and trust that he will be there to catch me?
