Baby Daddy Roulette synopsis
Dr. Selene Marlowe's birthday surprise for her NBA star fiancé goes spectacularly wrong when she catches him celebrating with two cheerleaders instead. One smashed triple-chocolate cake and one thrown engagement ring later, she's done with Philadelphia and done with basketball players. Fresh start in Seattle? Check. New job with a brand-new team? Check. Zero chance of running into her past? Well... about that. Turns out the universe has a twisted sense of humor, and Selene's carefully rebuilt life is about to get extremely complicated. Let's just say some nights you can't take back, some secrets don't stay buried, and some teammates have a habit of showing up exactly when you least expect them—especially when you're hiding something big. Three somethings, actually. Very small, very loud, very there somethings.
Read Baby Daddy Roulette – Chapter 1
[Selene’s POV]
The triple-chocolate cake weighs about four pounds. I know because I made it from scratch, and I nearly dislocated my shoulder from whisking ganache.
The Philadelphia Ravens' training facility rises out of the October dusk, and I am about to be the World's Best Fiancée.
Dr. Selene Marlowe, team psychologist, can take the night off.
Tonight I'm just Selene.
The woman who spent hours perfecting Cassian's favorite dessert because it's his thirty-third birthday.
Six years. That's how long I've loved Cassian Drummond—since he walked into my office as a cocky twenty-seven-year-old point guard and told me he didn't believe in therapy but believed in winning.
And apparently I was part of the winning strategy.
His charm could melt glaciers. His jump shot could make angels weep. Last year, after the championship, he got down on one knee on the jumbotron in front of twenty thousand screaming fans and slid a two-carat diamond onto my finger while I ugly-cried on national television.
Franchise basketball star and staff psychologist. It shouldn't work, but somewhere between road trips and Sunday mornings in his kitchen, we built something that felt solid. I trust this man.
Tonight is cake and balloons and birthday surprises.
The security desk is staffed by Mr. Pop, a sixty-two-year-old grandfather who calls me "Doc" and always asks about my sister. He looks up when I push through the glass doors, and something in his face makes my stomach clench.
He won't meet my eyes. His gaze slides to the cake, then to the floor, then anywhere but me.
"Evening, Mr. Pop," I say, keeping my voice light. "Don't tell Cassian, okay? It's a surprise."
He opens his mouth. Closes it. His eyes look wet. "Doc, maybe you should—"
