“Angel.” I’m on my knees in the middle of the bar, pressing my face against her stomach. “Please tell me I’m not hearing you wrong.”
She giggles against me and turns my face up. “You’re not hearing me wrong. Nolan’s going to be a big brother.”
My senses are flooded with a need to protect this woman and my baby that she’s carrying. “We need to get out of here.”
“Why? This is our spot.”
I shake my head and stand, grabbing some money out of my wallet and paying for the drink she won’t be consuming. “There’s people smoking. And it’s really loud.”
She laughs and puts her hand in mine, allowing me to lead her outside. “Babe, I don’t think the noise level in here is going to hurt the baby. He’s barely the size of a peanut right now.”
I stop in the middle of the parking lot, spinning around. “He?”
She smiles up at me and places her hands on my chest. “Just a gut feeling I have. It’s too early to tell.”
I wrap my arms around her, staring down at the woman that I’ll give my life for.
“You’re going to put me in a bubble for the next nine months, aren’t you?”
I kiss her forehead, pulling her against my chest. “I’ll do whatever’s necessary,” I say.
And she doesn’t argue with me. She allows me to hold her right where we stood that night. Before I knew she’d change my life. Before I knew I was holding the woman I was going to marry.
My future. My forever.
All mine.

Acknowledgments
My family, thank you to my family for your continuous support. To my ridiculously amazing husband. You, YOU are my favorite thing in the entire world. I’m a bit crazy about you. Heads up.
To all the amazing blogger friends I’ve made so far, thank you. SERIOUSLY, I can’t even express how much you all mean to me. Beth Cranford, Kylie McDermott, Smexy, Lisa Jayne, Maree Hunter, Karrie Puskas, and countless more. Did I just name drop? Oh, fuck yes I did. You all have showed me so much love ever since I published Sweet Addiction and I will never be able to thank you enough. To Give Me Books for everything you’ve done for me. I heart you girls. Now, all of you come to Maryland so I can hug you. Now. Do it.
R.J. Lewis, for always being there. Even when I’m stressing out. Even when I’m really stressing out. My cell phone bill has reached a new high due to our international text messages and I love it. However, if I don’t get a new book from you soon, I might become hostile. :)
Trish Tess, thank you for showing me so much love. You, my little friend, are the sweetest.
To the best readers a little indie author could ask for, thank you for taking a chance on me and for all your kind words. Your support means the world to me, and I wish I could hug each and every one of you.
Thank you again,
J

About the Author
J. Daniels is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of the Alabama Summer, Dirty Deeds and Sweet Addiction series.
Best known for her sexy, small-town romances, her debut novel, Sweet Addiction, was first published in 2014 and went on to become an international bestseller. Since then, she has published more than ten novels, including the Dirty Deeds series with Forever Romance.
Daniels grew up in Baltimore and currently lives in Maryland with her husband and two kids. A former full-time Radiologic Technologist, she began writing romance after college and quickly discovered a passion for it. You'll still catch her in scrubs every now and then, but most of her time is spent writing these days—a career she is eternally grateful for.
Always an avid reader, Daniels enjoys books of all kinds, but favors Romance (of course) and Fantasy. She loves hiking, traveling, going to the mountains for the weekend, and spending time with her family.

Tempt The Boss

Beep, Beep, Beep. My hand snakes out from underneath the warm cocoon of my blankets. Grabbing my phone from the side table, I shut it off and bring it under the blankets with me. Seven minutes later, I feel it vibrate under my pillow between my hands.
Pulling myself up and swinging my legs out of the bed, I walk downstairs, going straight for the coffee machine. Thank god for this programmed machine, because the coffee is ready for me to drink.
I blink my eyes a couple of times while I turn on the light over the stove. With it lightly dimmed, I lean against the
