Six months. That's all I agreed to. A courthouse signature, a ring that doesn't mean a thing, and a contract fat enough to save my business. I told myself I could keep it simple. Keep him at arm's length. But nothing about Parker Matthews is simple. We met once before—one night I never admitted to anyone. The kind you're supposed to forget. Only I didn't. And now he's everywhere. At the hospital, my new neighbor. In my bed if I'm not careful.

Co-parenting with your ex is hard. Co-parenting with your ex in a small town who still looks like that in scrubs is cruel and unusual punishment. Woody Beamer and I haven’t been a “we” in seven years. Our son’s the only reason we still speak. And even that's through gritted teeth. Then our kid’s #SaveChristmas video goes viral. Now Good Morning America wants the whole family to fly to New York and “share our story.” Our story. The one that ended in divorce court and heartbreak. But there’s only one hotel suite. One fake-happy interview.

One scorching summer seven years ago. One sizzling hot billionaire. I was graduating high school. He was a big-time oil exec. Thirteen years between us. We hid our love from the world, for fear of what people might say. On the edge of a scandal, it was never meant to be. When I hooked up with his best friend and ended up pregnant, I had a hunch it could be his. But I never told a soul. There are more secrets between us than in a teenage girl’s diary.

An explosive one-night stand with years and miles dividing us. Only one thing keeps us connected…the son he knows nothing about. I rent an extravagant beach house on secluded Duck Island to regroup after my divorce. Surprising us both, billionaire owner Grayson Sterling is staying there, too. Come to find out, his assistant has been Airbnb-ing his retreat without his knowledge. Gratefully he honors the reservation since I have nowhere to go. As long as I agree to share it with him.
