What (Not) to Expect When You're Expecting

Bailey Summers is very good at taking care of herself. So good, in fact, that she shuts others out with very little effort.

But when her brother and his partner want a child, she pushes out of her comfort zone and offers to be their surrogate. It's just nine months out of her life, right?

Right.

Because of course when she's struggling with morning sickness, she encounters the hottest man she's ever met. To make matters worse, he's the new bartender at her popular bar.

Rick Cassidy comes with his own complications. He's a middle school teacher taking a summer job as a bartender to help out his brother's family. His brother is in a rehab hospital after colliding with a drunk driver, and Rick is trying to help them make ends meet. He's just out of a relationship himself, with a woman who couldn't handle him spending so much time caring for his brother. So what's he doing eyeballing his boss, the boss of a job he needs?

But late nights, close quarters and second-trimester hormones overrule better judgement, and complications intertwine. This is definitely not what they were expecting.
