If you don't typically like the accidental pregnancy trope I urge you to give this book (& Dead Rinker) a read. Stilling writes the trope with tender care taking, unconditional support, possessiveness, and undeniable chemistry between the MC's. Archer's plan to stay away from Darcy crumbles apart when he realizes she's looking to have some fun after breaking up with her boyfriend. And soon their friend's with benefits arrangement turns to so much more when she realizes she's pregnant with his baby. Expect sneaking around, dirty talk, jealousy moments, care taking when sick, and found family vibes.
