Single Moms Don't Date Carl

Some secrets you can hide. A baby bump isn't one of them.

Becky's been hiding in plain sight for years—sneaking around with her step-brother's best friend, Carl, in a dance of stolen moments and unspoken promises. She wants it all: the white dress, the family, the man she's crazy about. But Carl? He's scared of losing the only family he's ever known, so he keeps her at arm's length while pulling her into dark corners.

At her best friend's wedding, watching someone else live her dream, Becky finally snaps. She's done with the secrecy, done with being his dirty little secret, done pretending she doesn't want more than midnight hookups and careful lies.

So she runs. All the way to London, chasing her fashion career and leaving Carl to figure out what he really wants. But some secrets have a way of growing—literally. When Becky discovers she's pregnant and Carl is an ocean away finally ready to fight for her, she has a choice to make.

Hide forever, or come home and risk everything for the love she's always wanted.

Because sometimes the best things in life are worth the messiest fights.

A steamy fake enemies-to-lovers romance about family, forgiveness, and finding the courage to want what you want—out loud.
