Synopsis

From NYT Bestseller Corinne Michaels & USA Today Bestseller Melanie Harlow, comes a second chance standalone romance.

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.

5 out of 5 stars

WOW! This is one of the best co-written books I’ve read. It flowed seamlessly and the writing wasn’t at all disjointed. They built up the angst to the point I almost had indigestion...but the way they pulled it all together gave me a different feeling in my belly!

This story has some serious love-hate stuff going on and the characters pulled at my heart - each and everyone one of them from the kids to the couple, Ian and London. It was definitely an emotional read and one that I won't soon forget. London was heartbroken when Ian told her he didn’t love her after her senior prom. She spent 17 years hating him. When tragedy forces them back together, they try to fight the old feelings, but love is stronger than hate - right?!

I can’t tell you enough about how hard it was at times to keep reading because my heart was breaking right along with Ian, London, Chris, Morgan and Ruby. I can’t imagine the amount of pain they all were in, but the way they pulled together was heartwarming, too. I don’t want to give away the story, so I’ll simply say this:

GO GET THIS BOOK! READ IT! YOU WON’T REGRET IT!!

And the bonus epilogue they sent me when I finished the novel - Be still my heart! I promise I haven’t cried that many happy tears in a long while!
