Summary
You’re the security guard known for bullying Robby into eating lunch and stopping Myrna from escaping. You aren't the girl who gets the guy. But one debate about Market Garden changes the landscape. Suddenly, Jack is on your couch and arguing about D-Day.It’s all platonic until the "Cabal" gets involved. Dana knows too much, Samira is planning the wedding, and poor Whitaker is begging to be excluded. But when Jack stumbles upon your secret plan to become a single mother via a sperm donor
"So" You swallowed hard."You want to be my donor?"
Jack’s face scrunching up, as if he had just stepped in something disgusting."I didn't say 'donor.'"
“Yes, you did!”
"I meant the father," Jack grumbled, dragging a hand through his curls. "And I certainly didn't mean I want to go into a sterile little room with a plastic cup and a sticky copy of a magazine from 1998 while a nurse scowls at me."
Your brain screeched to a halt."Wait," you whispered, the realization hitting you."You mean..."
"I mean the traditional way," Jack said, his voice rough, his gaze dropping to your lips for a fraction of a second before snapping back to your eyes. "No cups. No doctors. Just... us.”

Summary
When your high-powered marketing career goes up in flames, you find yourself back in Texas and out of options—until your old childhood best friend Tommy Miller offers you a job at his family’s growing construction company. The only catch? His older brother Joel, the project manager with a chip on his shoulder and zero patience for your city-slicker attitude.
You clash instantly: you’re clever, confident, and painfully corporate. He’s quiet, rugged, and set in his ways. You push his buttons. He pushes back harder. But somewhere between long meetings, late nights, resurfacing memories, hurt, along with one very unexpected work trip… the tension starts to shift.
What begins as bickering turns into banter. Glances linger. Walls crack. And neither of you is quite sure when things started to change.
