I ran from the altar only to land in the arms… ahem… bed of my ridiculously hot ex. Now he's a crazy rich single dad, and the reason for my baby bump. That night, I entered the bar looking like a runaway bride cliché with only five bucks stuffed in my bra. "You look like you need a drink," Oliver says in a voice deeper and huskier than I remember.

Dominant. Sinful. And insanely good with those experienced, surgeon's hands. It was one wild, nameless night… Then sunrise hit… and so did the shocking truth: I'd just slept with my ex's father. Yeah… so I ran. Fast forward to me, pregnant with twins, standing in his ER, mid-contraction. "Ella?" he says, eyes wide. Oh, Doctor. If you think you're shocked now, wait until you see your babies.

I'm a matchmaker for New York's elite. But my own love life is a complete disaster. I go on a blind date, expecting to meet a stranger. But instead, I'm locking eyes with Adrian Stone—my dad's best friend. The silver fox single dad I've fantasized about for years. We're both hiding behind fake names. Is he pretending not to recognize me, too? Either way, I play along. And that night, I did something I shouldn't have. Several times—if you know what I mean. He doesn't ever have to find out who I really am, right? Wrong.

Rex is an Alpha without a pack. Rejected by his fated mate, he's not interested in second chances. He just wants to be left in peace to lick his wounds and rebuild his life. When he starts a new business, his sister-in-law comes to help out, but Leah is exactly the kind of happy, bubbly woman he normally can't stand to be around. It doesn't matter how attractive she is.

I'm late for a major panel at a gaming convention, standing in line for a burrito, and the guy in front of me is treating the menu like it's a gourmet tasting. I ask if I can cut.

At the company of my dreams. Dream job. Nightmare boss.
