       “For old times’ sake.”

      He whispered the words as his arms slipped around her on the dance floor.

      As she stepped into his familiar embrace, his woodsy aftershave snaked around her, and he held her captive in his warmth and the seductive sway of his body.

      Ian was an amazing lover, a good man, and she cared about him far more than was good for her.

      Could they find a way to raise their baby?

      She invited him in for coffee.

      But once they entered the house, she didn’t go to the kitchen. Instead, she turned to face the man who’d fathered her baby and touched her heart.

      Every part of her brain told her she was about to make a mistake. A big mistake. But it was a mistake she couldn’t live without.
