Alone, broke, and pregnant was not how I envisioned my junior year of college. Neither was Aaron Murray, hockey wingman and campus heartbreaker.
He’s the most beautiful man I’ve ever seen—and now he’s crashing my vacation.
Even worse, he ends up sitting next to me on the plane. I can’t escape his cocky demeanor… or his gorgeous green eyes—at least for the next four hours.
When turbulence hits, I panic, convinced we’re going down.
I blurt my bucket list to him—including the humiliating fact I’ve never experienced the big O.
Once we land in paradise, my little confession becomes a challenge to him and now he’s determined to help me check items off my list.
Slowly, he chips away at my defenses until I can't resist him.
We agree to a fling—no strings, no regrets.
But Aaron is more than I expected. He's kind, attentive, and too good in bed.
I should have known a few reckless days and nights in paradise would come with consequences.
Because when I get back to Riverside U, I realize the campus heartbreaker left me with something to remember him by… two pink lines.

Briar thought her junior year would be all about gymnastics and chasing her Olympic dreams—not dealing with an unplanned pregnancy. But when she ends up sitting next to Aaron Murray, campus hockey star and serial heartbreaker, on a holiday flight, things take a wild turn.
A little turbulence, a bucket list confession, and suddenly Aaron is making it his mission to help Briar check off some personal goals while they’re in paradise. What was supposed to be a carefree fling quickly turns into something way more complicated. Back on campus, reality hits hard—two pink lines and a future Briar never saw coming.
Throughout the story, Briar evolves from a sweet but unsure college student into someone who fully embraces her self-worth, love, and motherhood. Aaron, the cocky jock who swore off commitment, also surprises everyone—including himself—by showing up as someone kind, protective, and way too charming for his own good.
With plenty of swoon-worthy romance, spicy banter, and heartwarming moments, One Timer with a Wingman delivers the perfect mix of laughs, love, and life-changing surprises. If you love bucket lists, vacation flings, and stories where everything goes sideways before turning into something beautiful, this one belongs on your reading list!
