The Gentleman
Max Hamilton knows how to treat a woman right. Open the door for her. Lend her your coat in the cold. And flowers. Always flowers. It was the reason he started MaineStems, his flower delivery service—to help more men be gentlemen. And one of those men is his best friend on his wedding day—even if the bride is the woman of Max’s dreams.
Max will deliver the wedding day bouquet with a smile on his face and only his best wishes for the couple. A simple feat… if only the message in the card was one of everlasting love instead of instant betrayal.
Daisy Turner has been knocked up, stood up, and she’s ready to shoot the messenger. Max is responsible for this—for her runaway groom—and she knows it. But now, he’s her only shot. Not for a happily ever after, but for the next best thing: health insurance coverage.
Max will do anything to help Daisy and her unborn baby… including marry her. And he’ll tell himself it’s the gentlemanly thing to do. Bring her pickles at 2AM her. Rub her back when it’s sore. But the way he wants her… that’s the opposite of gentlemanly. And to tell her how he’s always wanted her… well, only a scoundrel would do that.
When the timer on their convenient marriage runs out, will it be the gentlemanly thing to do to keep his word and walk away? Or will Max confess that Daisy has always had his heart?
