Mister Contingency
When he works for one of LA’s busiest realty offices, and she’s the single mom who runs his favorite bakery, you could say things are about to get complicated…
Bradley Lucas is the suave, suited bachelor around tinsel town, and everyone knows it. Including me. We’ve been friends since high school, and he’s always had my back, but more often than not, a shoulder to cry on.
He’s great with my kid, my parents adore him, and I admit, maybe I have a little crush.
But I’ve got bigger fish to fry because the building I run my bakery from, Sweet Confetti, is about to be ripped out from under me.
Everything I’ve spent years building hangs by a thread.
The funny thing is? He’s wretched to almost everyone. Everyone except me and my son, Deaton. When Brad helps out when I get stuck in a crisis, I start to see a side to him I’ve never noticed. I already knew he was endearing. Kind. Funny. A handsome devil. All of the things I admire in a man, but lately he’s been affectionate, too. Little touches. Daily texts. The way he shows up when I need him.
But he’s my best friend.
While I try to keep the bakery afloat, I also try to keep my hands off him. But that’s proving difficult when the man who always wears a suit turns up at my kid’s soccer game wearing sweats. Sweats with my son’s soccer game team logo, no less.
Throw in some family drama, opposites attract, a man who calls me “baby girl”, and did I mention he’s tattooed everywhere? Yes, I found that one out by accident…
But I’m no damsel in distress. I can fight my own battles. The trouble is, will Brad see right through me and realize that neither of our hearts stood a chance? Or will our shot at happiness be blinded by the friendship we don’t want to lose should this go pear shaped?
