Emma Happy ever after—I wanted it, but it didn’t work out for me. Now I’m working to rebuild my self-esteem and shattered confidence after being torn down by my ex-husband for years. I have a singular life purpose—to raise my two boys into decent men, all while juggling everything life throws my way. I’m not looking for another relationship. Well, I wasn’t, until I met my new neighbor and his adorable niece. There’s something about Theo that draws me in. But I still don’t know if I can trust myself, or him. Theo Returning to my hometown was the last thing I had planned, especially being entrusted with the care of my four-year-old niece. There’s pain and loss everywhere I turn, on top of learning what it takes to be a parent. Something I never thought I’d be. I’m already the disappointment of my family, so it’s important to me, and my niece, that I don’t mess this up. I’m certainly not interested in a romantic relationship, after all, it’s a distraction I don’t need. That is until I meet my sexy neighbor, who’s raising two boys of her own. Neither was looking for love, but when Emma faces a life and death battle, can Theo put his demons to rest and be the man she deserves?
