Books like Daddy, unexpectedly by Lee McKenzie

Claire DeAngelo believed she had found her forever home in a white picket fence, the promise of marriage, and children. When her marriage ends in divorce and her ex‑husband’s behaviors verge on harassment, Claire is forced to confront a new reality. Luck seems to favor Claire when she runs into Luke Devlin, a friend from college who has now become an undercover cop. Luke is deep into an investigation of a smuggling ring, and the building where Claire lives is under his surveillance. Together they decide that living together could be a clever way to keep an eye on the criminals. As the plot thickens, Claire’s ex‑husband grows increasingly hostile, prompting Luke's protective instincts to spring into action. Their old friendship rekindles with a growing attraction, while Luke’s carefree past as a college playboy contrasts sharply with the seriousness of his current mission. When Claire discovers she is pregnant, she realizes that the one missing piece of her dream—family—may finally be within reach, even if the path is uncertain.
