I only saw him as my best friend's little brother . . . until I married him

Getting pregnant before the wedding wasn't my plan, but surprise! Then my fiancé (correction, ex-fiancé) tells me to take care of the problem. And that's how he becomes my ex.

But being a single mom in this small town won't be easy. Maybe not even possible. I'm a large animal vet. It's not like I can take my baby to work with me.

Then my best friend's younger brother drops to one knee and proposes so that I won't be a single mom.

After hours of pondering, I accept Parker's impulsive proposal.

Romance has never been part of our relationship, but he treats me better than anyone I've ever dated. He's caring, protective, and more than a little good looking. Way more than I deserve.

But I really didn't think about the day-to-day of married life. Or what it would be like to see him without a shirt all the time. He's no longer the scrawny kid who liked to tag along. He's a full-grown cowboy and quickly becoming my best friend. (Well, my other best friend)

Just when I think maybe a happily-ever-after is possible, tragedy strikes.

Now that there's nothing to save me from, I have to let him go. But walking away from my knight in shining armor will absolutely shatter my heart.
