From losing my mom at a young age, to foster care, and being on my own, I've always been alone. Never having anyone, but my own company to keep. I kept myself within the lines, never crossing it, but the one time I decided to step over the line, I found myself 5 months pregnant with my mysterious one night stands son. I've always believed in fate and deep down, I knew this pregnancy was a gift. Instead of hunting down my son's father, I'm letting it up to fate. If it's meant to be, we'll meet again.
This is the second book to My Safe Place, but it can be read as a complete standalone.
Tropes: one night stand pregnancy, single mom, second chance, found family, strangers to friends to lovers, little to no mafia
Trigger Warning: involves kidnapping, no ow/om drama, a little bit of consented sexual degradation, will have a HEA
"Lost Friends To Lovers"
Dad told me real love happens once and when it does, never hide your feelings.
Too bad, he told me late. I held them and lost her.
Until I found her again.
Blue-eyed, brown hair. That dimple on the right cheek, it hasn't changed much. Well, she hasn't changed much either. I can feel her body exuding the same warmth as the old times, her innocence still shining bright like it used to. This little surprise is racing my heart even when she is far from me...wait? Far? With her eyes busy finding something in her handbag, she is coming toward me. Me. Is my back erecting? What is she doing here? In a school? Is she my son's teacher? I find myself curious now.
But then, she takes a seat beside me and smiles at the teacher.
I can not help but wonder.
Is she a parent too?
