To all the other women in town, Ford Monroe's a player. To his ex, he's a failure she doesn't want around their kid. But to me, he's my best friend. The single dad and I both work as paramedics and are partners on the job. Dating isn't worth ruining the best relationship I've ever had, no matter how hot he is.
We're only supposed to pretend to date, but it's not long before I want the real thing. Yet when Ford's life gets rear-ended, the romance growing between us gets put on life support. He has to put his son first, and I'm done changing bandages on my heart for a guy.
Eligible Best Friend was previously published as Shock in K. Bromberg's Everyday Heroes World project. Some details have been changed, but the story is still the same.
