Matt's Free Shot

A Steamy Enemies to Lovers One Night Stand Secret Pregnancy Romance

I ghost a bad-boy one-night stand; now he’s my next-door patient—and my kid’s secret father.

I come back to Sunrise to rebuild, not to share a wall with Matt Tremblay—the tattooed trouble I left in a hotel bed.
Now the club hands me his rehab, and professional distance lasts exactly one elevator ride.

He’s swagger and ink; I’m rules and lists.
Opposites attract, collide, and kiss in the front seat while the engine purrs like a bad decision.

His four-year-old nephew teaches my toddler slapshots like they’re already family.
I’m the only one who knows they almost are.

Dad’s hospice call fractures the ground; the possessive ex starts circling again.
Rumors sharpen, cameras stare, and the club delivers an ultimatum I feel in my throat.

Game or trade.
Him or silence.

I pick nerve.
I hand him the truth I carried alone and dare him to take the shot with us.
