Pretty Dependable - Paperback

by Lacey Black (Author)

Ellie

Being a single mom is the most challenging, yet rewarding job I've ever had. Especially in a small town, where everyone knows your story, or at least their version of it.

They say it takes a village, and they're right. I've been lucky to have close friends to help me raise my son, Brody. One particular friend stands out above the rest. TD stepped up in a big way, teaching my son everything a father should. That's why his friendship means so much to me. Both Brody and I rely on his friendship. Any feelings I have for my sexy friend must stay buried. It's safer that way.

Turns out, it's much harder to do when he decides he's done being just my friend. He wants more.

TD

There's nothing worse than being in lust with one of your friends. For years, I've been fighting my attraction to Ellie and keeping it a secret. I thought I was doing what was best for all of us.

Between working as the local police officer and coaching high school football, I'm left with very little downtime, but what I do have is spent with Ellie and her son. When I find out the seventeen-year-old boy might be working to get this football coach and his mom together, all bets are off. With Brody on my side, I'm willing to take the chance and blur the lines between friends and lovers.

I have to make her see we can have it all. Despite her reservations, I'll show her love is worth the risk.
