Recommendation
All the angsty feels, enemy to lovers, second chance brilliance! I wasn’t expecting this book to be so honestly emotional. They all stole my heart…the kids, the hero, the heroine…they were all so preciously broken. This duo wrote this beautiful story so seamlessly, I hope they honor us with more words together in the near future. A definite tear-jerker!
Excerpts
Sometimes we're really mean to people we love because feelings can be so extreme.
You're going to have it all, but first I'm going to love your entire body with my mouth.
I don't want to think about him anymore. I want to be strong. I want to push through this. I want to be the kind of woman I've always admired, the kind that learns from her mistakes, stays focused on her goals, and doesn't let anyone get to her.
Publisher synopsis
Ian Chase broke my heart at seventeen, and I’ve spent the last eighteen years hating him for it.
He makes it easy, with his smart mouth and playboy lifestyle—which I unfortunately have to observe since he lives behind me. Every time I see him climbing out of his pool, practically naked and unreasonably sexy, my blood boils.
I’ve always loved to loathe him.
I never planned to need him.

London Parish is my little sister’s best friend, not that it stopped me from falling for her.
Our history is complicated. The only thing we have in common is being godparents to my sister’s three adorable kids—until our lives are changed in one tragic moment.
Now we’re trying to raise the children we love, mourn an unthinkable loss, and fight an undeniable attraction.
My life is already upside-down, and the last thing I need is for old feelings to resurface.
Because I’ll never be able to keep her, no matter how hard I try to hold her close.
