Strictly off-limits, my best friend's older brother became an unexpected and forbidden chapter in my life. To make matters more complicated, he was my baby's daddy.
Jake, a recent Navy veteran, embraced life to the fullest, a tantalizing temptation I couldn't ignore.
When tasked with inviting him for a night out, I stumbled upon a scene that set my desires ablaze, leaving me yearning for him like never before.
His sister had warned me to stay away from her damaged brother, but I couldn't resist the pull we shared.
When I finally summoned the courage to reveal our impending parenthood, devastating news arrived-Jake had re-enlisted and was now on a dangerous SEAL mission.
As I received word of his severe injury, uncertainty loomed over me.
The question of what to do next weighed heavy, and I found myself facing a choice that could alter the course of our complicated love story.
