Assistant DA Collin Baptista has a rule: never sleep with the enemy. He broke it onceâwith defense attorney Madison Reddy. Now Madisonâs pregnant and Collin heads to her North Captiva retreat with a ring, prepared to do the right thing. What heâs not prepared for is her flat-out rejection.
Madison may not think heâs ready to be a father, but Collinâs sure he can convince her otherwise. And when the couple find a lost goldendoodle puppy, they get plenty of opportunity to practice being a family. Maybe a secluded Florida island and a stray puppy can teach these two rivals to be a coupleâand parents!
