The day after he’d had the most perfect date with Julie, Ben’s ex-girlfriend had told him she was pregnant. And that the baby could be his.

He couldn’t ask Julie to deal with his baggage from another relationship, not when theirs was so new. It had ripped his heart out to put things on hold, but he had to be fair to her. He hadn’t told Julie more than the basics then. It was time to give her the whole story. “I knew things weren’t working with my ex and it needed to end. Then I found her with another guy, and I broke it off with her for good.”

“Until she told you she was pregnant and you might be the father of her baby.”

“Yeah, but it was unlikely I was the father.” He willed her to believe him.

“I see.”

“No, you don’t. She was eight months pregnant when she dropped the bombshell.” He heard the bitter ring in his voice, and knew he was angry because Julie had been collateral damage of the hell his ex had put him through.

“Took her time, didn’t she?”

Ben figured Penny had never intended to tell him at all. Her plan was to live happily ever after with the guy who’d replaced him. But the jerk hadn’t lived up to her expectations and she’d gone to Plan B, the old boyfriend.
