★ ABOUT HEARTLESS KING ★
Two blue lines. That means not pregnant, right? Right? Oh, sh*t.
Five years ago, Colm Frost asked me to marry him and I ran. I ran from my painful past too raw and fresh to escape. He was the only one who looked at me like I wasn’t broken and made me believe it. He made me feel it.
Now, he’s the hot, angry, hockey player on the mend.
I’m the physiotherapist who’s supposed to get him back on his feet.
I don’t think our night together was what his doctor prescribed, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t dreamt of him every time I close my eyes. I woke up beside him with my body still singing from the way he fanned the flames of my desire, but I couldn’t stay.
His lips on my neck. His hands wrapped around my waist. His impressive...ahem, touch leaving me breathless.
One moment of wild inhibition and it’s come back to bite me in the butt. Kind of like he did that night.
But a baby? Our night was supposed to be a one time thing, closing a door on the future I couldn’t handle.
Will this new bump in the road be everything we needed to find our forever?
Heartless King is a standalone friends to enemies to lovers, accidental pregnancy romance that brings all the laugh out loud, angsty feels!

Her jogging footsteps up the stairs followed a few minutes later. “Good morning.” She burst into my room like rainbows shined out her ass. “Did you hear me? Let’s go. We’ve got a lot to get done today.“
Her hair was up in a ponytail that swung behind her. She was in scrubs. Just like a nurse. The black strap of her bra poked out the side of the v neckline. Was it the same bra she wore that night? The smooth feel of it had been seared into my memory. Stop it, Colm. This isn’t a recreational visit looking for a repeat.
“I’m sleeping. You can do whatever the hell you want.” I grabbed my blankets and wrapped them around myself. At least the sheets were clean. After she left, I’d given them a smell test and damn they were rank. With her so close my morning wood was turning into something else and I didn’t need to embarrass myself even more.
“You’re hilarious. Let’s go.” The bed dipped and she patted my back through the blankets like this was some game we were playing.
“If anyone asks I’ll tell them you gave it your all, now leave me alone. How in the hell did you get in here in the first place?
The jingle of metal on metal. “Declan gave me his. Said he had at least twenty sets made up.”
Traitors. I’d have to find my phone so I could call a locksmith and get them changed.
“There’s loads for us to do, so lets get a move on it.”
“What part of not happening, don’t you understand?”
“Okay, but you can’t say I didn’t try.” The mattress sprung back and her footsteps retreated.
And I must’ve fallen asleep. I didn’t even hear the attack coming.
Icy needles splashed over my face and rivulets of freezing water up my nose. I shot up from my bed.
Imogen stood over me holding a bucket I didn’t even know I owned with a smile fit for an adorable anarchist.
I spewed water out of my mouth and jumped up from the bed, shaking ice off my body. It thudded to the floor and water splashed all over everything. “What the fuck, Imo?”
“You wouldn’t do things the easy way, so I had to improvise.” She shrugged like she’d had no choice in the matter. An invisible force had propelled her helplessly through her attempted drowning.
“By waterboarding me?”
“Hardly, I didn’t even get out the burlap sack. Let’s go.“ She nodded with a smile like we were on a prank show and I was missing the party downstairs.
