One surprise pregnancy. One small-town handyman. One miracle of a love story with creaky floorboards and very sturdy bookshelves.
Reid Merritt didn’t plan on inheriting a failing bookstore—or on being pregnant, single, and completely overwhelmed. Whispering Shoals was supposed to be a quiet place to regroup, not a new beginning with a baby on the way and a crumbling building full of broken shelves and bigger bills.
The problem? The town’s handyman keeps showing up.
Beck Callahan: tall, steady, impossible to read, and somehow always there when Reid needs help. He fixes doors. Repairs shelves. Brings coffee. Offers quiet comfort. And the way he looks at Reid’s growing belly? That’s not nothing, either.
But when Beck chooses this baby over his own past and chooses Reid, again and again, with calm hands and patient eyes, Reid starts to believe that maybe, just maybe, this disaster might actually be a home.
Featuring: cozy baby nesting, town gossip that travels faster than Wi-Fi, one (1) very persistent midwife, found family meddling, quiet carpenter competence, and the softest, steadiest kind of love—the kind that stays.
For readers who believe in cozy kisses, alpha-and-omega tenderness, small-town safety nets, and the radical magic of being chosen exactly as you are. Not omegaverse but there are alpha and omega.
'''️ Cozy small-town mpreg
✔️ Gentle open-door heat
✔️ Found family & town meddling
