’m not prince charming, Sugarplum. But I think I’m exactly what you need.

It was a freezing, dark night at a truck stop,
When a rough, scarred truck driver dug me out of a blizzard.
He fed me, took care of me.
And then he hauled me back to his rig
And made me his.
One hot, debauched night, with a guy more beast than man.
Not how I imagined my first time would be,
But I can’t be sorry for the sweet-filthy memories.
For the tingles that run through me every time I think about him…
Then I find out I’m carrying his child.

Well, being a single mother was definitely not part of my life plan.
But when my past catches up with me, he’s right there—
ready to keep me safe from anyone and anything.
Ready to take care of us all.
People tell me he’s feral, too rough for Perdue Town, even.
But they haven’t seen the protectiveness burn in those ice-blue eyes.
Something deep inside me tells me he’s the one.
Tells me he’s her daddy.
But will I ever be able to trust him with our lives?
