Heartbreak Baby

Sometimes the most unexpected beginnings lead to the most complicated love stories. In Heartbreak Baby, Heather Ashley explores an unconventional path to parenthood, where two strangers discover that starting a family together may be easier than protecting their hearts. After discovering her boyfriend's betrayal on the very day they were supposed to begin trying for a baby, the heroine finds herself devastated and uncertain about her future. An unexpected conversation with Sumner Wells, a man carrying his own relationship wounds, changes everything. Both want a child, but neither is interested in entering another traditional romantic relationship. Their impulsive agreement is simple: create a family, raise their baby together, and keep romance out of the picture. However, their arrangement quickly becomes more complicated than either anticipated. Physical attraction, growing trust, and unexpected emotional intimacy challenge the boundaries they originally established. As pregnancy progresses, the possibility of wanting something more becomes increasingly difficult to ignore. The story explores themes of betrayal, second chances, unconventional family structures, emotional vulnerability, commitment, and discovering love when it is least expected. Readers can expect a steamy romance featuring strangers-to-lovers tension, co-parenting, a protective male lead, and a heroine navigating the path toward a new beginning. Heartbreak Baby is suitable for adult romance readers who enjoy high-heat contemporary romance, pregnancy-themed stories, unconventional relationship arrangements, and emotionally engaging romantic fiction. It also includes mature sexual content and potentially sensitive themes, so readers should consult the author's trigger warnings before reading.
