About this ebook

“Jody is a masterful storyteller, with beautifully developed characters, incredible landscapes and every now and then she throws in a plot twist that will leave you reeling.” —Goodreads review


The girl from the wrong side of the tracks accidentally got pregnant with her wealthy boyfriend’s baby.


That’s the rumor, anyway ...And I’m that girl.


Now an entire small town is convinced I intended to sink my claws into whichever of the Kingsbrier Quintuplets would have me, and that I am duping Eric Cavanaugh out of his trust fund.

​

But what the gossips don’t know is that one slip up happened because I was scared of losing the one thing I’ve counted on since my dad died; Eric’s unconditional love.


​The summer after high school, I’m scraping two quarters together to buy diapers, and Eric is paying the price with his family. 


​To make matters worse, my stepfather actually believes the money Eric will eventually receive is the solution to his problems.


​Graduating should have meant we were stepping into the future. But will keeping this baby be what breaks us apart?




Told in a round-robin style by all five of the Kingsbrier Quintuplets, Eric is a surprise pregnancy romance book perfect for new adult and college series readers, who adore coming of age love stories and found family romance. Greeting this wild and unruly set of siblings, expect a dash of secret lovers romance with an older brother’s best friend and a peppering of babysitter romance between the boss’s daughter and the newly hired single dad.

The story is not about only Eric n Ginny.. it keeps on drawing the angles of all the other characters and I kept on trying to search for the story of the said main characters!! it gets so confusing all the time.. I dont even understand why I invested my time to complete this book..

It was really mixed up. While I was reading it I got lost a lot. You have one person speaking one minute the another almost the same exact minute. Who shouldn't even have their thoughts in this book. You basically combined the whole series. I still like the idea where you were you coming from.

Absolutely a delight to read. Didn't rely on sex scenes to hold interest, yet still had that slow burn. Love the rotating Chapters with points of view from all. Would have liked a few times to hear from the parents. Read in one sitting and just bought all the other books. Well worth the small amount of money I have to spend on non-free books.

About the author

Before becoming an international bestselling author, Jody Kaye used to cook dinner for her family …Or so her three sons say, since she still maintains they began eating the meal ingredients for snacks around the same time.


It makes her wonder if the phrase “just 5 more minutes” only counted for video games and not toward penning the last paragraph of a romance novel?


A voracious reader, Jody has written over 25 small-town books, including the steamy southern Kingsbrier and angsty Shattered Hearts of Carolina series. Among her emotionally relatable cast of characters are coming of age twenty-year-olds and later-in-life single parents. She even threw in a psychic medium for a dash of suspense!


Jody currently resides in North Carolina with her husband, who continually proves an insta-love romance can last a lifetime—and who’s glad he talked her into being a writer and out of the bougie French stove she drooled over.


Her children have either moved out or are currently waiting in line for their take-out order. She’s hungry and hopes they ordered extra fries.
