Bennett Blisswood wasn't searching for more. But a surprise pregnancy has him thinking that fate has other plans...

The one-night stand with Kelsey was my comfort when I needed it and the escape she wanted. The friends-with-benefits arrangement that followed was our fun -barn trysts included. No strings, simple, and easy. That's us. Except Kelsey just threw multiple sticks with two pink lines at me. Looks like our best-laid plans have hit a plot twist.

Now we've been thrown together on a deeper level as we are about to become parents.

With no hesitation, I'm stepping right up for her and our kid-even making a crib with my bare hands. Of course, the town gossip mill is in full swing as they attempt to figure out the relationship status of Kelsey and me, and they're not the only ones confused. Kelsey is beautiful, stubborn, and makes me want things. Call me traditional, but I make my intentions about our future very clear. She thinks I'm blinded by her growing belly, but her hesitation about us only challenges me to prove her wrong. And if she takes a chance on me, I can't let her down. That's the last thing I can do. Because I'm beginning to feel that Kelsey and me... we may just be something more...

This friends (with benefits)-to-lovers, surprise-baby romance is the second standalone book in the small-town Blisswood Brothers series that follows the brothers as they run their family winery and farm, Olive Owl.
