One Night Flame

I've never been one to say no to a good cause. So when the fire station decides to hold a bachelor auction fundraiser, I'm all in. After all, I'm Hollywood—the guy with the pretty face who's always ready to put on a show.

What I don't expect is to be bought by a grandma. Not for herself (thank God), but for her granddaughter.

One night with Lucy is all it takes to knock me off my feet. She's beautiful, funny, and sees right through my act. For the first time, I find myself wanting to stick around for the morning after.

Then I discover she's a single mom—the one thing I swore I'd never get involved with. She deserves better than a guy like me with my messed-up childhood and zero parenting skills.

But walking away from Lucy feels impossible. And maybe, just maybe, the package deal I've spent my life avoiding is exactly what I need.
