The Hotshot by Piper Rayne is now live!
Raising my cousin’s three kids wasn’t in my five-year plan.
Actually, it wasn’t in any plan.
One minute I’m a single labor and delivery nurse living a quiet life and the next, I’m navigating guardianship hearings, meltdowns, and homework I’m pretty sure requires a math degree.
Enter Hayes Carlisle.
My best friend’s older brother.
Chicago Colts newest catcher.
And the man I once kissed and immediately pretended I didn’t.
So, when the custody battle I’ve been dreading becomes a reality, I shouldn’t be surprised that Hayes swoops in with a wild idea—a fake relationship. According to him, pretending we’re together will polish his image and prove to the court I’m not taking on an instant family alone.
But pretending to be Hayes’ girlfriend is a terrible idea.
Because he remembers how to make me laugh.
Because he looks at me like our kiss wasn’t a one-time mistake.
Because the kids start asking him to read bedtime stories.
Because my heart starts wanting things my life doesn’t have room for.
I can manage the chaos. I can fight for these kids.
But pretending not to fall for Hayes Carlisle?
That might be the one thing I can’t do.

MY REVIEW
Leighton has just become the guardian of her cousin's three kids, and it's upended her life. That's where Hayes, her one-time kiss, comes in. Not only does Hayes step up and become her rock, and the kids', but has the idea to fake date to help with her custody filing. It shouldn't be a problem to fake date him, except it is, because Hayes is actually finding his way into her heart, where she doesn't want him because she doesn't want a chance that he'll break it.
I really wasn't prepared for how much I would fall in love with Hayes and Leighton and their three kids. Hayes was the sweetest, steadiest, swooniest person in his story. He stepped into Leighton's life and showed her what she didn't realize she'd been missing. And Leighton was this amazing woman who did her own stepping up - for her cousin's kids, the kids who became her own, because Leighton's heart was as big as Hayes'. Theirs is a true slow burn with sizzling chemistry, and most importantly, so much freaking heart.
