A Different Kind of Love Series by Liz Durano

No names. No numbers. Just one wild night together and they’d go their separate ways. At least, that was her plan... But not all plans work out the way we want them to. Sometimes it involves a little white lie... and a baby. Some one-night stands are just that: one-night stands... unless you’re Doctor Addison Rowe and it’s an unexpected pregnancy — and a story she’ll stick to about being a single mother... by choice. Besides, after last year’s scandal involving her colleague, Dr... moreNo names. No numbers. Just one wild night together and they’d go their separate ways. At least, that was her plan... But not all plans work out the way we want them to. Sometimes it involves a little white lie... and a baby. Some one-night stands are just that: one-night stands... unless you’re Doctor Addison Rowe and it’s an unexpected pregnancy — and a story she’ll stick to about being a single mother... by choice. Besides, after last year’s scandal involving her colleague, Dr. Harlow James, and Dax Drexel, the much-younger man she ended up with, Addison’s got a professional reputation to protect. But when building contractor Jordan O’Halloran returns to New York after a year spent building schools in Southeast Asia, Addison will need to decide whether maintaining her reputation and being her mother’s “perfect” daughter is more important than finding true love. But first, she’ll have to navigate through a maze of her Filipino-American family’s expectations—and her own—and an ex-girlfriend who hasn’t yet let go of her first love. **This book is a lighthearted standalone story that follows after Everything She Ever Wanted (An Older Woman Younger Man Romance) featuring Dr. Harlow James and Dax Drexel. I hope you’ll enjoy Addison and Jordan’s story. EXCERPT: The sidewalks aren’t crowded at this time of the morning and I like it. Piper probably thinks it’s one of our leisurely walks, although this time, there’s no elevator ride up to the High Line where I walk all the way to the end of the line and back. Sometimes I find an empty bench and read a book while she naps in her stroller or peruse the art at the Whitney Museum of American Art. “It’s a beautiful day,” Jordan says, breaking the silence between us after we emerge from the subway, coming up the stairs with me carrying the baby carrier and him, the stroller. “Yep, a beautiful day for a DNA test.” The words come out before I can stop them and he rewards me with an annoyed glare. I don’t know why I’m being snarky other than I’m nervous. “I’m sorry. This is all so new to me.” “And you think that it isn’t for me?” His frown is replaced with a smile when Piper gurgles at him after I set the carrier back in the stroller. “I’m sorry.” “That’s alright. I understand we’re both stressed right now,” he says. “How long before we find out?” “Three days. And from there, based on the results, either your life will change or it won’t.” “Addy, my life changed when you told me that Piper’s mine. And honestly, I believe you,” he says. “I do have to tell my family.” My heart skips a beat. I knew it! He has a family. A girlfriend and maybe kids. Just because he said he wasn’t married or isn’t wearing a ring didn’t mean he didn’t have kids. less
