Synopsis (according to Goodreads):
Two besties and a baby make for an instafamily and a surprising romance in a delightful series by Melissa Foster, the New York Times bestselling author of the Sugar Lake novels.
Ben Dalton has always been honest, except where his heart is concerned. He's been in love with his best friend--saucy, smart-mouthed Aurelia Stark--forever. But Ben's a planner, and timing has never been on his side. When he finally decides to make his move, Aurelia beats him to the punch with a move of her own--to a different town.
Aurelia loves her new life in the charming town of Harmony Pointe. She has a great apartment and her very own bookstore, and best of all, the sinfully hot, commitment-phobic friend she's crushed on for years is no longer just around the corner. Maybe she'll finally be able to leave her unrequited love behind and move on.
But when a baby is left on Ben's front porch--a baby that is presumably his--Aurelia is there for him. Neither one knows the first thing about babies, but how hard can it be? Ben and Aurelia are catapulted into a world of love, laughter, and tracking down the baby mama, and it might even add up to a very happily ever after... just not one either of them expects.

AURELIA LOOKED LONGINGLY at the muscular arm circling her waist and the large hand cupping her breast over her shirt and prompted closed her eyes, chastising herself for doing it again. Always a bridesmaid, never a bride was beginning to ring too true, and it was all Ben Dalton's fault. She'd had a ridiculous crush on her Henry Cavill-lookalike best friend for far too long, and it was getting in the way of her life, her thoughts, her everything. Every time she went out with a guy, she compared him to Ben, who looked rugged and yummy in jeans that hugged his thick thighs and perfect ass and could rock a suit like he'd strutted off a runaway. But it wasn't just his looks. She quickly bored of every date, waiting for them to be quippy, fun, and unknowingly seductive like Ben. If she wasn't careful, she'd end up the spinster of Sweetwater, New York. Harmony Pointe, she corrected herself. Though she'd grown up in Sweetwater and had moved back to reopen her grandmother's bookstore and combine it with the Ben's sister Willow's bakery, Sweetie Pies, Aurelia had recently changed directions. In an effort to stop waking up in Friendsville, she'd bought an adorable bookstore with an apartment above it on the corner of Main Street and West Avenue in the next town over, Harmony Pointe.
She allowed herself another minute to enjoy the feel of Ben's broad chest against her back, his titillating breath warming her neck, and yes, even his morning wood pressing into her bottom. The situation would be sexier if the man child wrapped around her wasn't also drooling on her shirt.
That was about all the action she'd ever see from him.
She'd spent the last month swearing she was done doing this with him. But when he'd called her last night and said, "Come on, Rels, hang out with me. I miss you," that's all it had taken. The way he said Rels always made her stupid heart melt. She'd been called Aurelia since the day she was born--the day her mother had died--by everyone except by Ben. He had coined the nickname Rels--or Relsy if he was in a particularly sweet mood--and he only seemed to use it when they were alone. It was ridiculous that a secret nickname could made her feel special, but it did. She knew she was important to him. She was the first person he called to share any kind of news, and they were known in their circle of friends as Ben and Aurelia--always linked, like Ben and Jerry. Two people who seemed to exist as one perfect combination.
Except she didn't want to be Ben and Jerry.
She wanted to be the perfect combination of man and woman, like Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively. The type of couple who had wild, crazy sex and woke up naked, tangled in each other's sticky body parts, not clothed on a chaise lounge in the middle of Benjamin Unable-to-Commit Dalton's couch with drool on their shoulders.
