Fireworks with My Dad's Best Friend

I've had a crush on Brody Hale for as long as I can remember—my dad's best friend, the town's hottest firefighter, the man with shoulders as broad as the Fourth of July sky.And completely off-limits. He never looked at me as anything but the kid who followed him and Dad around.Until last Fourth of July.One kiss under the fireworks turned into a night that changed everything. A night I replayed a thousand times while running my hand over the secret growing inside me. I left town before anyone could see the truth—before Brody could look at me with regret.Now I'm back. And my baby girl has his storm-gray eyes.Brody isn't shocked. He isn't angry. He's… determined.Determined to be in her life.Determined to be in my life.Determined to claim what he says was always his.But if my dad finds out?If the town finds out?Fireworks were supposed to last one night. I didn't expect them to follow me home.
