His Baby Girl by Rosa Mink

Mel
My best friend setting me up to be hurt is just another example of how no one cares enough to protect me. All I want is to get out of this mess and town, and thanks to Clint, I can at least get out of this party sane. Being in his arms is the closest thing to heaven I’ve felt in years, and I don’t want tonight to end without having him at least once—I don’t even care that he’s Jenna’s father. I’m done with her but I’m going to take one good memory with me.
I never expected Clint to want to keep me, protect me from everything, but the longer I’m with him, the harder it is to walk away. The more I’m falling in love with him and don’t want it to end. But Jenna’s the biggest hurdle right now. She hates me suddenly and I don’t understand it. It scares me to my core, especially when I learn that I’m having Clint’s baby.

Clint
I put my life on hold to raise Jenna. It wasn’t a great hardship, at least not until the day I saw her best friend as more than just her friend. From that day on, all I wanted was Mel in my arms, in my bed, but I waited. I waited and worried and now, she needs my help because my daughter hurt her. Learning more about my girl makes me angry that I waited so long to show her I care, to take her home and keep her safe.
If I have to choose, I’m choosing Mel. I’m choosing my life this time. Jenna can take care of herself if she won’t accept Mel and our baby in her life. I won’t give them up, won’t let anyone upset her again. Especially not Jenna with threats of bringing the monster that terrified my girl when she was younger back into her life. Mel’s mine, and I’ll show her what it means to be my baby girl for life.
