Description:

 

Ana DaSilva is looking for a palate cleanser. A one night stand. A reboot.

 

Instead, she got fireworks, sparks, chemistry, and the perfect guy. No one wants to meet Mr. Right when he should just be Mr. Rebound, but Mr. Right is so, so right.

 

But then he went from Mr. Right to Mr. Never, because when she learns she’s pregnant three days after that wonderful night with Dennis, she realizes her sleazy drug dealing ex not only left her with the legal mess she knew about, he gave her a life-long present.

 

One that means ignoring Dennis’ texts and phone calls, no matter how much she wants to answer.

 

Dennis Luview wants to escape his pain. Coming back to his hometown of Luview, Maine - the cheesy tourist trap where every day was Valentine’s Day - means facing a past he left behind twenty-four years ago. Yes, his family is loving, and sure, he has roots that go bone-deep in the small town community where people step up for each other.

 

But the naive eighteen-year-old who left to serve his country is now a retired Special Ops vet with a heavy entourage of ghosts and PTSD. No woman deserves all the baggage he’s lugging around.

 

Including Ana, who clearly wants nothing to do with him, no matter how intense their one haunting encounter really was.

 

Which is why six months after that hot night, he’s stunned to find her in his hometown, at a bridal shower, her ripe, pregnant belly swelling under a gorgeous yellow sundress.

 

A public confrontation turns into a very private reunion, and as Dennis pursues Ana she opens up, but is he crazy to want her — and what turns out to be another man’s baby — to settle down and find stability and love?

 

Or is he deluding himself that he’s remotely worth the happiness an instant family could offer, after his terrible past?

 

If you’re looking for a secret(ish) baby, one-night stand, strangers-to-lovers romance set in a town where every day is Valentine’s Day, with a veteran with PTSD who volunteers at an animal-rescue sanctuary and a therapist who keeps picking the wrong men (until now), then settle in with a cup of coffee to read the final book in the Love You, Maine series that features the Luview family.

 

One-night stand

Strangers to lovers

Secret(ish) baby

… and a sugar glider named Magic

Sneak Peek Excerpt;

“If I thought you’d say yes, Ana, I’d ask you to come back to my hotel room and finish what we’re starting here.”

 

“What makes you think I’d say no?”

 

The way he laughed, a gentle huff through his nose, made a piece of her heart melt a little more.

 

“Most women would say yes or no to that. Instead, you open the question wide and give it nuance.”

 

“What’s wrong with nuance?”

 

“Never said there was anything wrong with it.”

 

“From what I’ve seen, you are a crystal-clear man, Dennis. Why don’t you try the direct approach?”

 

Inching closer, his inhale like the rush of a conch against her ear, Dennis smiled, his grin broadening, genuine happiness filling his features in a way that made her feel pride.

 

Pride that she could elicit that from him.

 

“Come to bed with me, Ana. I love the feel of you in my arms on the dance floor. Your kiss tastes so good, I want to taste all of you. My room or yours?”

 

Pure energy shot through her, most of it between her legs, coalescing into a throb. Fire lit up her skin, his caress as he cupped her jaw and kissed her again so anchoring.

 

And so damn hot.

 

Few moments in life call for complete abandon, but for Ana DaSilva, this was one of them.

 

Without question.

 

Without hesitation.

 

And without regrets.

From billionaires to BBWs to new adult rock stars, Julia finds a sensual, goofy joy in every contemporary romance she writes.
