Always Sunny

She's his brother's first love. She's ready for a baby of her own. And he's offering to help… the old-fashioned way.

Ian

Sunny was the star of every one of my teenage dreams. The girl down the road. My oldest brother's first love. Off-limits then. Off-limits now.

I'm a surgeon in Houston with no plans for a wife or kids. So when she tells me she's going it alone, trying for a baby with an anonymous donor, I should wish her luck.

Instead, I offer myself.

Not in a jar.

Sunny

The gangly little brother I used to play guitar with grew into a bearded, drool-worthy orthopedic surgeon. And apparently, he's lost his mind.

Twenty years later, our small town still pats my hand over Sam Duke. Imagine the talk if I turned up pregnant by his baby brother.

But my first try didn't take. I'm turning forty. And Ian's offer comes with a family who already loves me… and a New Year's kiss I can't stop replaying.

Blame it on forty, but I say yes.

We put it in writing. No obligations. No one finds out. Keep it secret, simple, and sunny.

Everything's breezy… until it rains.

Always Sunny is a steamy, open-door, dual-POV romance. A younger brother who has loved the heroine since he was a teenager finally gets his shot, and a heroine chasing motherhood on her own terms learns that feelings don't follow the fine print. Set between a gossipy Texas Hill Country small town and big-city Houston, it blends an older woman/younger man romance and a taboo brother's ex with a secret baby pact. It's warm, funny, and full of yearning, with a happily ever after and a heart-squeezing epilogue.

A standalone with no cliffhanger, for fans of Abby Jimenez, Lauren Layne, and Claire Kingsley. Always Sunny is part of the Duke family world. Meet Sam in Trust Me and Oliver in How to Survive a Holiday Fling.
