Sweet Southern Charmers #4
Colton: A Heartwarming Romantic Comedy
Dad on Demand?
A marriage of convenience is a crazy idea, but April Hanson is desperate. She’s hit "snooze" on her biological clock so many times that there’s no more going back to sleep. It’s now or never if she’s ever going to make her dream of having a baby come true. But a string of bad boyfriends has left her burned out on love. Sure, she’s considered having a baby all on her own, but even in this millennia, a single, pregnant woman in little Bliss County, Virginia will simply cause too much of a stir.
Then her best friend in the whole world, Colton Radway, offers a solution. He’ll wed her, give her a baby, and then bow out of the marriage while they co-parent their child. It seems like the perfect solution until she’s playing house with her hunky new husband and realizing just how sexy her best friend really is.
Soon, April is scrambling for a new plan, and wondering, how to convince Colt that this marriage of convenience should become a forever kind of love.

Enjoyable!
Colton would do anything for his best friend April. ANYTHING. He’s been in love with her for many years but has had to hide those feelings and settle for being her best friend. The two had agreed to be just friends after April was disillusioned by an earlier marriage to a former friend of both her and Colton. Now April desperately wants a baby and feels time is running out unless she takes action. Colton can’t stand the idea of her going to a fertility clinic or being with another man. But what can he do?
