Thank You for Loving Me — Lori Ryan

It was supposed to be a flingConfirmed bachelor and former NFL superstar, Max Sumner, knows the minute he sets eyes on Devlin Darby, he wants her in his bed. The fiery photographer is temptation personified with her caramel eyes and inviting smile, and Max has never been very good at resisting temptation.When he takes her to his bed, though, she slips under his skin in ways he never imagined, drawing out the secret he managed to hide from everyone.Devlin Darby never wanted to be trapped. She likes her life just the way it is: carefree, wild, and all her own. Her one night with a sexy former athlete she couldn't resist puts all that at risk. When she's faced with the consequences of that night, she's faced with a choice. Let an unwanted pregnancy trap her with a man she doesn't love, or embrace and cherish her child without compromising her independence. As far as she's concerned, pregnancy doesn't have to mean she ties herself to the father for the rest of her life.Unfortunately for her, Max has other ideas, and he's not a man to take lightly when he sets his mind to something -- or someone -- he wants.
