Just For Tonight

by Sage Wells

Lily Montgomery’s life in Los Angeles is turned upside down on a work trip to Vegas, where she meets Kai Brooks—a charismatic, physical, and dynamic defenseman for the Seattle Ice Wolves who claims he’s in town to catch a game. A few too many cocktails later, an impulsive wedding and a steamy two-night affair set their lives on an unexpected course. When Lily finds herself facing pregnancy alone, fate brings Kai back into the picture.

Determined to be a part of his child’s life, Kai reappears at Lily’s doorstep, and soon she finds herself moving to Seattle to navigate the challenges of co-parenting. As roommates and reluctant partners, their shared days are filled with tender moments and undeniable chemistry, even as they struggle to keep their deeper feelings at bay.

But when tragedy strikes, they’ll have to face not just their responsibilities—but their hearts. And as their carefully built walls start to crumble, Lily and Kai will have to is love worth the risk, or will fear keep them apart forever?

A good start to the series. Storyline and characters held my attention. Will be following for more.

I'm on chapter 12 and they've only interacted with two other characters (the bartender the first night they met and now the doctor). It's just weird that Kai has had some conversations with other people to tell them about the pregnancy, but it's all off page. It just feels rushed and the lack of other human interactions is weird.
