Last on the List by Laney Hatcher

Silas Bartholomew is falling behind.
After watching my three younger sisters fall in love over the years, I’ve realized I might not want to be the lone, unattached Bartholomew sibling any longer. It’s time I grew up and assumed my role as my father’s heir. But in order to do that, I’ll need responsibilities, a household, … and a wife.
I was not anticipating a secret arrangement with my sister’s best friend who barely tolerates me.

Mary Lovelace wants nothing more than a family.
Falling into bed with Silas Bartholomew was not part of my plan. This unexpected and, frankly, unwelcome attraction I feel for the infuriating gentleman leads to shadowed secrets and sudden complications.
Silas and I find ourselves feeling far more than we ever anticipated. When our arrangement abruptly ends, I’m left with a future that is growing increasingly tricky, right alongside my waistline.
Finally, the possibility of a family of my own is back on the table, but the father of my child is the very last man I ever intended to share a future with. But some connections are too powerful to ignore.
Can I find the courage to face the love right in front of me or will the family I’ve always dreamed of be just out of reach?
