Title: A Really Bad Idea
Author: Jeannine Colette
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Everyone has a best friend. Mine just happens to be Dr. Christian Gallagher— the gorgeous, green-eyed heart surgeon who wants to have a baby with me.
Yes, you read that correctly.
When my mother approached me on my thirty-third birthday with a brochure for egg freezing, it was a glaring reminder that my biological clock is ticking toward its expiration date. I’ve always dreamed of being a mom and had a plan — one that was destroyed when I caught my professional hockey player husband in bed with another woman.
Despite my broken heart I still believe in love. I want the happily ever after, but I also want a child desperately and won’t settle in order to make it happen.
That’s why when I decided to take my mother’s advice, Christian came up with his own plan: Let’s have a baby together.
It’s a bad idea. A really, really bad idea. And yet…I can’t stop thinking about how great it could be.
There’s just one condition. Before we have sex (oh, yes, we’re doing this the old fashioned way!) Christian is adamant we go on three dates.
Sounds easy, but it’s not.I thought sex would be the hard part, but the dates are only making me fall for the man I’ve known almost my entire life.
Whoever said sex doesn’t change things never went to bed with their best friend.
Aww…Christian’s Note is wonderful!
Keep reading to see the full Love Note!
Meadow,
Everyone has a best friend.
For years, you thought I was yours. We used the term easily when the truth is… I was never your friend.
Friends don’t fantasize about each other when they’re sixteen, wondering what it would be like to touch you.
Friends don’t lust after each other, secretly hoping they’ll break up with their significant others so they can finally roll around in bed together.
Friends don’t love as passionately, and infinitely as I do with you.
I may never have been your friend, but I’ve always been your best.
The best listener when you’re mad.
The best confidant when you’re scared.
The best jokester when you’re sad.
The best lover you’ve ever had.
I’ve cherished you from afar because having you in my life was better than not having you at all.
Now that you’re mine, I vow to forever honor you—body, soul, and mind.
Happy Valentine’s Day,
Love, Christian
