    About this series

    When I stood at the altar, saying vows to my fake husband, I didn't expect them to feel so real.

    Jones and I hadn't been dating long enough to throw the L word around, yet it flowed off my tongue so easily, just like everything when it came to him. Our chemistry was off the charts from the very first touch, nearly setting things on fire as often as the ones he set in the kitchen when he cooked.

    But everything in my life suddenly got flipped upside down when I learned that my grandmother left everything to me in her estate. The only problem? I had to be married by my twenty-fifth birthday in order to claim my inheritance.

    There was a lot to plan in under two weeks, all while making sure everyone believed our shotgun wedding was real. The last thing I needed was for my vindictive cousin to come in and contest the marriage in court before the six-month stipulation passed.

    Loving Jones was easy. But nothing could have prepared me for how hard my heart would break when his life was on the line, and I was the one to blame.

      There are worse things than turning forty.    However, I can't seem to evade my worry of my biological clock, and my fear that time is running out. I've always wanted to be a mother, and with each passing day, there is a greater chance that might be a dream of mine that will never come true.   And if the clock isn't loud enough— my controlling and overly judgmental mom is. Her snide comments never go unsaid and her numerous failed attempts at setting me up with any new bachelors in town are enough to spur small town gossip for months at a time. Never mind the fact that she tried to set me up with Old Man Bucky down the street from her— the frail but sweet widow who walks with a cane and has grandchildren my age.    But this isn't about my mom or her obsessive need to see me settle down and pop out the grand babies she so desperately wants. This is about the emptiness that has lingered inside of me for so long that I worry I will never fill it.    I have a lot to be thankful for in my life. I'm in good health. I run a successful cafe that I inherited from my grandparents and an incredibly handsome best friend who is willing to help make my dream of becoming a mother come true.   It may not be the most conventional way to start a family, but there is no one that I trust more. Besides, we agreed that it would only happen once. Regardless of the outcome, we walk away with our friendship intact. I know this is crossing the line of friendship, but this is my one shot. It's one night.   What could possibly go wrong?
