Wren never wanted a baby. Or a boyfriend. Or to see her best friend Morgan naked. Oops. One out of three ain’t bad.
Wren Lancaster has her life perfectly under control—no messy feelings, no romantic entanglements, and absolutely no babies. That is, until her infuriatingly charming best friend Morgan suggests the unthinkable: have a baby together.
It’s not like they haven’t already crossed some lines. Okay, several lines. But what starts as a completely logical, totally non-sexual agreement (with a few steamy exceptions, for science) quickly spirals into a chaotic whirlwind of late-night confessions, shower escapades, and surprise feelings.
Now there’s a baby. Possibly love. And definitely a whole lot of awkward conversations to come.
If Wren can survive her past, Morgan’s unsolicited bird-themed baby name list, and the world’s most persistent ex-girlfriend, she might just stumble into the one thing she swore she never wanted… happiness.
