A single mom who's given up on love... A single dad who wants to change her mind. After finding out my relationship was a total lie, I packed up my life and teenage daughter for a fresh start in Tyson’s Creek. I planned on focusing on my daughter, nothing more, until I met a stranger determined to derail all my plans. Our first meeting is electric, something that only happens in movies, with more than one reason to keep my distance. However, our meddling friends and daughters make that impossible. Each time we meet, my heart softens and the idea of falling in love isn’t quite so scary. Connor's panty-dropping smile, and the way he dotes on my daughter spell nothing but trouble for the walls around my heart. Making it next to impossible not to fall in love with him.

A woman who's waiting for her love to return home... A man who doesn't believe he deserves her. I’ve been in love with my brother’s best friend, Brady Thomas, as long as I can remember. It didn’t matter that he was older than me or that my brother would disapprove. I planned to keep my feelings a secret, telling myself it was nothing but a silly crush. Then Brady did the unthinkable, he kissed me before leaving without a word. That one kiss changed everything. Instead of getting the happily ever after I dreamed of, I spent months waiting for any hint that our kiss meant something to him. That he felt anything close to what I feel for him, but all I got was the silent treatment. Now, over a year later, Brady is back in town stirring up all the feelings I’ve been trying to forget. The moment our eyes lock across my brother’s bar I feel the walls around my heart begin to crumble. But I won’t make the same mistake twice. If Brady wants this, then he’s going to have to fight for it.
