Someone to Watch Over Me: A Forced Proximity, Childhood Friends to Lovers, Unexpected Pregnancy Romance (Wounded Hearts Series Book 3)

I’ve been in love with Angelo Mancini for as long as I can remember.
There’s just one problem.
He thinks of me as a little sister.

The closeness of our families made us friends before we were old enough to know what friendship meant.
He became my protector, my safe place, and eventually, the man I secretly dreamed of spending my life with.
Then one tequila-soaked night in college, I asked him to take my virginity.
He said no.
Humiliated and heartbroken, I buried my feelings.

A couple years later, one failed precaution leaves me facing an unfathomable decision.
Terrified and confused, I run to the one person I've always trusted to anchor me when my world feels like it’s crumbling.
Angelo.

He lets me stay with him while I figure out what to do. He takes care of me when I'm sick, holds me when I'm scared, and reassures me he’ll be by my side through it all.
But living under the same roof with the secret love of my life carries its own kind of torture.
Because something between us is changing.

His gaze lingers.
His embrace holds on a touch longer.
After a lifetime of loving him, I’m beginning to wonder if there’s an ache he’s been denying too.
For the first time, I let myself believe a life with Angelo might actually be possible.

Except I’m carrying another man’s baby.

Just when everything I’ve ever wanted feels within reach, the uncertainty of what comes next could cost us the one thing neither of us can bear to lose.

Each other.

Hi! I'm Debbie Cromack and I write contemporary novels that are romantic, sexy, and emotional with a lot of heart and worth-the-wait steam. I've been called the Master of Slow Burn, a title I happily accept.

I write realistic, flawed characters you'd want to get to know in real life. My heroes are virile and also broken. They have huge hearts, respect their women, and have a hidden romantic side. These men don't just fall in love, they fall and never look back. My heroines are often awkward, feisty, and embody everything the hero never knew he needed.

After spending 25+ years in corporate America, being the CEO of an event decorating company, and then an online business coach, I tried my hand at writing romance novels, publishing my debut novel at the age of 50, and have been writing ever since.

I live in an old farmhouse where I care for a dwarf bunny named Nutmeg, two Nigerian dwarf goats named Patches and Tiny, and lots of chickens. I like my book boyfriends how I like my cocoa: hot and yummy! With my knack for decorating, I tend to go all-out for each holiday. And I'm a total sucker for the Hallmark Channel...especially at Christmas.
