Stella
Getting pregnant in college wasn't part of the plan, but I'll never regret giving birth to the best part of me. A fresh start in a small town seems like a good idea, until a handsome stranger shows me a little kindness and has me feeling things, I thought I'd never feel again . . . things I have no business feeling about a man I just met.
Every time I turn around, Maverick is there. I'm doing my best to hold it all together, but the truth is, when I see him with my daughter, I know I've already fallen too far.

From the moment Stella rolled into town, she's had my attention. Since that moment, I've been determined to befriend the sexy single mom who's down on her luck. Stella has fallen on hard times, but something tells me she'll never take a handout. That doesn't mean I'm not going to try to help, so of course I put in a good word to get her a job. She's smart enough to know I had a hand in it, but that's what friends are for, right?
With each day that passes, Stella becomes more than just a friend. She's my best friend—who I apparently can't keep my hands off. She's worried we're complicating things, but screw that. Blurred lines or not, I ask her to stay anyway.
