The Grumpy Doctor’s Second Chance

A Small Town Secret baby romance

I’m Fake dating the Woman Who Still Owns My Body. Now She’s Carrying My Secret.

I built my life on control.

Rules that keep everything exactly where it belongs.

Then Hannah Mullin comes back to Maple Ridge, all smiles and buried history, and every rule I’ve ever lived by starts to crack.

She was my best friend before she was my first love.
The one mistake I never recovered from.

She’s off-limits now—emotionally, professionally, and in every way that matters. But the town watches her like they’re waiting for her to fail again, and I won’t let that happen.

So I make a deal I shouldn’t.

Fake dating.
Public smiles.
No feelings.

Rules I didn’t follow.

Late night talks and intimate touches have me falling deeper every time.

Just when I decide I’d risk everything for her, the past explodes.

And the future hits harder than any battlefield ever did.

Because the woman I love is carrying my child…
and I don’t know if she trusts me enough to stay.
