“Afraid so, sweetheart.”
She beamed at me and then bit her lip. “So, I’ve been thinking.”
“Yeah?”
“What if after I get this romance book published, we try.”
I furrowed my brow at her. “Try what?”
“Aaron...for a baby,” she explained slowly, enunciating all her words.
“Oh! Really?” I asked in surprise. I hadn’t thought she would want to try so soon. I thought it would have been a couple years before we talked about kids again.
She nodded. “I think…I think I’m ready.”
“Are you sure? So soon?”
She laughed. “Well, I’m going to be working on this book for a little bit. So once it’s done, I think I’ll be ready. Will you be?”
I held her face in my hands. “Fi, I think I was ready the day we got married.”
She shook her head at me and scoffed. “Bullshit!”
I grinned at her and put my hand on her flat stomach. “Okay, pub this romance book, and then we’ll talk about making a baby again.”
“A cute one!”
“We’re gonna have the cutest baby. But when you’re ready, sweetheart. Right now, I just want you all to myself.”
She melted into me, and I kissed her gently, happy that finally, our marriage was no longer in the trial phase.

Acknowledgments
When I published Take The Shot, I didn’t think anyone would actually like the book! Or that I would have readers excited for Fiona and Riley’s story. So this one goes out to all of you readers who have stuck by me while I have teased you about their story. You finally have it in your hands! And I hope you like it.
Huge thanks go out to my editor Charlie Knight for holding my hand a little bit with this book, and encouraging me to dig a little deeper. I appreciate your input and help so much! And I’m glad you got my Desjardins reference, because naming one of my hockey players Lindros would have been a bit too on the nose.
I dedicated this book to my Soul Sisters — Kia, Taryn, Tam, Mahogany, Grace, Dallas, Lisa, Valerie, Julie, Trisha, Michelle & Janet. Without your support, I’m not sure if this book would have come to fruition. Thanks for letting me annoy you in the group chat on a daily basis. Love you ladies!
He won’t read this, but I have to thank my real life partner as well. He might not read my books, but he listens whenever I need to vent about book stuff and cooks me dinner. I literally do not deserve that dude! Seriously, if you thought Noah from the first book was too nice, sorry J was kinda the blueprint.
Finally, huge shout to all of the betas who helped me with this book. You are all amazing, and I am so grateful you helped out a little indie author like me.
Can’t wait to bring you all more from the Philadelphia Bulldogs hockey team!
