Friends to lovers

Santa’s Baby

Dear Santa, I plan to be a very naughty girl this year…

The only thing I ever wanted was a family of my own. Since no relationship has worked out, and my biological clock is ticking, there’s only one solution: ask the best guy that I know to father my child.

Of course, it isn’t that simple. Liam is my best friend. My rock. I tell him my wish while he’s playing Santa at the office Christmas party, planning to laugh it off as a drunken joke if he refuses.

But he doesn’t refuse. ‘Santa’ wants to give me a baby for Christmas in the most hands-on way possible. Even if it risks changing things forever between us…

The Friend Option

Kayla
As soon as I hold my infant nephew for the first time, I’m reminded of how much I want a child of my own. But there isn’t a single man in my life who I would want to be the father, except for one.

Mason.

My best friend. The love of my life, even if he doesn’t know it.

It’s madness to consider changing things between us. But one little request won’t hurt anything. Will it?

Mason
Kayla wants a baby. I want her. Seems simple enough. At first.

Each touch, each kiss, makes it clear that my heart is involved, as well as my body. But can I convince her that our friendship is meant to be something more, or will falling in love mean losing her forever?

Playing For Keeps

Game night with Maggie is as routine as it is frustrating. She’s my sister’s best friend—and mine, too. But I want so much more.

One night, Jenna doesn’t show up. Leaving me alone with Maggie. It’s the perfect opportunity to up the stakes.

It’s a huge risk. But she’s more than worth it, as the only woman I’ll want for the rest of my life. I just have to make sure that she knows  I’m not just playing a game.

I’m playing for our future. For us.

I’m playing for keeps.

Best Friend

Paisley
It's getting harder and harder to remember that Ethan is supposed to be my best friend and nothing more. It shouldn't matter how good-looking he is or how my body burns for his.

We've crossed that line before, but I pulled us back to being 'just friends.' Since I've always been a disaster with relationships, I can't risk it. If things blow up... I can't bear to lose him.

This time, I'm afraid there's no going back. Not only do we wake up in bed together, but there's a brand-new wedding ring on my finger...

Ethan
There's only one woman I want, and that's Paisley. She's my best friend, but I need more.

She calls it 'crossing a line.' Something we need to forget and pretend it never happened.

I can't go back. I have to make sure she knows that.

Vegas is a place for gambling. And my biggest gamble might just be getting married to my best friend...
