I lost everything in the fight for my daughter... So, with my tail between my legs and completely out of options, I ran back to Stillwater. The town that stole everything from me. The only silver lining is...Arlo. Arlo, who won my daughter’s heart with a simple gesture. Arlo, who charmed me before I even knew his name. And here I thought returning home was going to be yet another train-wreck. How could I not fall for the guy who didn’t think twice about taking a phallic-looking plant into a bar for a drink. We both have secrets, baggage, and a connection that feels more real than any I’ve had before. But I can’t start something new.
