When you clash with your new boss over every little thing during the day, it's only natural that you'd collide with him just as intensely behind closed doors—and this free-spirited designer and Charleston's most arrogant venture capitalist do plenty of colliding. Your no-strings arrangement is absolute perfection until one positive pregnancy test changes everything, and suddenly the cocky jerk you've been battling starts showing you a softer, more genuine side. As Greyson demands to be part of your life and your baby's future, you can't help but wonder if the chemistry that brought you together could transform into something real—or if you're just falling for another one of his power plays. This enemies-to-lovers, accidental-pregnancy romance will have you swooning over a Southern gentleman who might just be worth the risk.
