One Big Little Secret

I guessed wrong. A little reckless fun with a stranger never hurts. A drunken one-night stand doesn't leave you pregnant. A savage twist of fate won't make your baby daddy your new boss. Bad luck can't last forever—unless you're me. Should we count the ways I'm cooked with Patton Rory? He rocks the grumpy gene, dialed up to eleven. He's so handsome the mirror winks back and his bank account has its own zip code. He's also totally oblivious—thank God. I'm not sure what he'll be if he figures out the little boy who trashed his fancy building and ruined his favorite tie is his son. Maybe I'm becoming a human knot, but I won't make the same mistake twice. If he starts acting human and making my munchkin laugh, I'm not swooning. If his forbidden kiss tastes like pure temptation, I'll eat mud. If he makes my heart sing, I'm still clinging to my big little secret. Even if it's growing so massive I can't separate love from the lie.
