Summary

Raising my cousin’s three kids wasn’t in my five-year plan.

Actually, it wasn’t in any plan.

One minute I’m a single labor and delivery nurse living a quiet life and the next, I’m navigating guardianship hearings, meltdowns, and homework I’m pretty sure requires a math degree.

Enter Hayes Carlisle.

My best friend’s older brother.

Chicago Colts newest catcher.

And the man I once kissed and immediately pretended I didn’t.

So, when the custody battle I’ve been dreading becomes a reality, I shouldn’t be surprised that Hayes swoops in with a wild idea—a fake relationship. According to him, pretending we’re together will polish his image and prove to the court I’m not taking on an instant family alone.

But pretending to be Hayes’ girlfriend is a terrible idea.

Because he remembers how to make me laugh.

Because he looks at me like our kiss wasn’t a one-time mistake.

Because the kids start asking him to read bedtime stories.

Because my heart starts wanting things my life doesn’t have room for.

I can manage the chaos. I can fight for these kids.

But pretending not to fall for Hayes Carlisle?

That might be the one thing I can’t do.

This audiobook had me completely hooked from the start. Hayes and Leighton were EVERYTHING and I honestly flew through it. The mix of fake dating, best friend’s brother tension, found family vibes and all the emotional moments was done so well! I love Piper’s writing style. Hayes showing up for her and the kids absolutely melted me 🥹

The narration made this even MORE addictive! Every emotion hit harder and the chemistry felt so real. I laughed, got emotional, kicked my feet and genuinely loved every second of this story. Very swoony and ended on such a high note!

Piper Rayne absolutely nailed the balance between heartwarming and spicy and now I’m desperate for the next book already. Easily one of my favourite audio romances this year!

Obsessed!
