Catching His Songbird

Catching His Songbird

Jane Anne

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.

Jennifer lives and breathes soccer. Every drill, every bruise, every early morning is for one goal: the championship that could unlock the future she’s been chasing for years.

Then a dangerously charming rival coach arrives and turns everything upside down. He’s bold, magnetic, and completely off-limits, yet impossible to ignore. As tension builds on and off the field, loyalty, ambition, and longing begin to collide. In a town split by pride and pressure, Jennifer faces a choice that could change more than the scoreboard. Because sometimes the hardest games aren’t played on the field, but in the heart.
