Sweet Promise by Braylon Black

Having a baby with your totally platonic BFF? What could possibly go wrong?
An omega chasing love with rose-colored glasses—
Dangerous crime rarely happens in Orchard Ridge, but deputy sheriff Finn Johnson struggles to move on from one of the few times it did. On top of his anxiety from a near-death experience, Finn’s latest breakup has made him doubt he’s any better at settling down than he is at protecting his hometown. Reading romance novels over lunch breaks probably hasn’t helped to ground his expectations, either.
That’s why it feels like fate when Finn randomly runs into Vaughn, his childhood friend with whom he made a pact to have kids and get married once they hit thirty. One drunken, ill-advised decision leads to another, and when Finn gets pregnant, suddenly their half-serious, half-joking “Promise” becomes a stark reality.
But as much as he tries to deny it from himself, Finn soon realizes he wants so much more from Vaughn than just a roommate and a kid together. Can he bet his heart—and their future child—on a “fake boyfriend” when he wants the real fairy tale ending?
An alpha struggling to find his niche in the world—
By almost any standard, alpha Vaughn Palmer has led a successful life. However, his fierce competitive streak with his twin brother has only highlighted his failures in his own mind. Falling short has become a self-fulfilling prophecy, and he’s frustrated that his business ventures, and his love life, haven’t been more successful.
A chance encounter with long-lost pal Finn leads to a passionate one night stand and life-changing consequences. With a baby on the way, Vaughn agrees to give the whole “friendship marriage” thing a try… until it’s not enough to satisfy either of them. Can they really stay together as friends with benefits when both of them want something so much more?
