Could the worst day of her life really be the best thing to ever happen to a girl?
Lacey Carmona loves the nightlife. Carefree and happy, she excels in her accounting job at her brother’s club, Club56. One night compromised by lies changes her whole life. Add in an overprotective older brother, and things are bound to get a whole lot worse. She’s not looking for a man, not even the one guy who embodies every one of her fantasies. She helped create the situation, and she’ll work it out—on her own. Too bad Chris Welch is so hard to resist.
Sometimes the best-laid plans need a little tweaking to make them something more irresistible.
Chapter One
I got myself into this... I’ll get myself out.
Lacey Carmona crossed her legs and curled up on the hood of her car. The overcast sky mirrored her mood. Crappy. The chill seeped to her bones. She’d done a foolish thing by trusting Tate, but they’d been involved. He’d claimed he’d never lie to her.
Bullshit.
He’d lied, big time.
Now she had to deal with the consequences. She mashed the piece of paper in her hand. The words burned into her brain. Pregnant. Two months along. Pre-natal vitamins. She trembled and closed her eyes. Sitting outside the club wouldn’t help her tell her older brother, but then again going inside wouldn’t make explaining much easier.
Footsteps crunched on the pavement behind her. She opened her eyes, then glanced over her shoulder. Chris Welch, the head bouncer, aka the man who embodied sex on legs, strolled over to where she sat. His black T-shirt molded to his chest, giving her more than a tease as to how much time he spent at the gym. Despite her depressed mood, her pussy quivered. She shouldn’t be thinking about him—or any man—right now, but with him looking so fine, so hard to resist...looking away wasn’t going to happen.
Hiya, Lace. What’s happen—
He didn’t finish his question. Instead he perched on the leading edge of the hood and wrapped an arm around her. You’re not okay. Want to talk? I can tell Trip you need a couple hours off. He owes me.
He doesn’t know I’m here.
She rested her head on his sculpted shoulder, basking in the warmth of his embrace and the easy way he held her tight. I’m scared.
About what, Lace? Tell me. I’m here for you.
She’d have to tell someone sooner or later. Remember Tate Blauser?
Your boyfriend.
Ex.
She sighed and sat up straight. We split over a month ago. I caught him with another girl in his bed. Things were already so bad between us. Leaving him didn’t hurt. But his parting gift isn’t as...nice.
What’d he do?
Chris leaned forward and met her gaze. If he hurt you, I will kick his ass.
She’d never noticed the flecks of sapphire and jade in his blue
