About this ebook

It was supposed to be a one night stand to help me get over my ex. But then a positive pregnancy test changes everything…

When I hooked up with a gorgeous stranger, I‘d intended to enjoy some no-strings fun to get myself out of a funk. I didn’t even bother to exchange names. But when I end up pregnant, all of my plans go out the window.

Two trimesters—and zero luck finding the baby daddy—later, I run into my mystery man at a childhood friend’s wedding. Tattoo artist Mercy Caruso is even hotter than I remembered, and he promises to stand by me every step of the way. He’s kind, reliable, and almost too good to be true.

When complications arise with the pregnancy, Mercy and I decide to live together until the baby arrives. Our chemistry rekindles, and my feelings for him grow every day. But Mercy has a secret, and when it comes to light, will our fledgling relationship survive?

Author’s note: This is a short romance / novella with a complete standalone romance story of approximately 25,000 words.

Trigger warning: This story deals with a difficult pregnancy.

Ratings and reviews

I've read several books written by A. Rivers; she is becoming one of my favorite authors. I can’t wait to read more of her books. This is the third book in the Crown MMA Romance: The Outsiders Series; it is a stand-alone short story. The story is about Tempe & Mercy; they have a one-night stand and don’t even exchange names. Months later she runs into him again at a friend’s wedding. She pregnant and when she begins to have problems, they move in together. I received a free copy of this book v

Lovely heartwarming short read. This book was so so lovely with wonderful characters. I really loved Tempe - she seemed to always know what to say - straight talking, strong and considerate. And Mercy was gorgeous - a natural caregiver with a heart of gold. While I enjoy a short story, I would have loved to spend more time with this couple. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
