in no life plan did i think i'd raise a daughter.

LOCKE
I was at the top of my game, until I wasn't.
An injury derailed my football career for good and I dealt with it the only way I knew how: booze and women.
It's made me a pro player of a different sense. I feel unstoppable, unbreakable, and no one will ever figure out how miserable I've become.
Until a woman from my past shows up.
And she has my baby.

CARTER
The ultimate tragedy is losing someone you love forever, and it's about to happen to me a second time.
Locke’s attitude, reputation, and living space all make him the worst fit, but the choice is no longer mine. 
He's the father, and I'm about to move in with him.
Locke's entitled to be surprised. I resisted him because he was my best friend’s ex, and now I've shown up with his baby.
But I swear, it’s not what you think…

WARNING: TRUSTING YOU is an angsty, slow burn, funny, steamy, reluctant roommate romance with cursing and gasp-worthy scenes.

SAFETY NET: There is no cliffhanger and it can be read as a standalone!
