Even so, I never dreamed we’d end up here—him hating me for the choices I made to save his career. It’s fine. I’ve moved on. I’ve had a few bumps in the road with my rising event planning career, but running my best friend’s wedding to her pro-football fiancé will fix all of that. If I pull off the perfect wedding. There’s one more bump I wasn’t expecting—my ex, Jett McCombs, is a groomsman, and seeing him again makes two things clear. I still love him. He still hates me. Jett. The last thing I need distracting me in the middle of a championship football season is a wedding, especially not some high-profile circus. And I definitely don’t need to face the ghosts of my past and the woman that got away. The woman who gave up on us and shattered my heart. With her in charge of the over-publicized wedding, there’s no avoiding her or the fact that I’m not as over her as I thought. One thing I know for sure is that I can’t trust Ava with my heart ever again. Someone just needs to tell my heart that. This sweet second chance sports romance is inspired by Jane Austen's Persuasion. Praise for "Layla Meets Her Match" by Raneé S. Clark. "This book was adorable. I always love a good sports romance.

What I need is peppermint hot chocolate, a holiday getaway, and a front-row seat to watch my best friend play in the big Christmas Day football game. But when our mutual friend Chad shows up with his two adorable daughters, one massive migraine, and zero nannies to help out–guess who finds herself volunteering to play babysitter? Yep, me. It’s all fun holiday light shows and ice-skating games until I see him shirtless in the middle of the night. Suddenly my “single dad friend” is now "ridiculously attractive single dad friend. ”. Here’s the problem: he’s ten years older, recently divorced, and definitely not ready for the girls to have a new mom. Besides, I’m on a dating hiatus after almost eloping with someone I barely knew. This is supposed to be a cozy Christmas getaway, not a fall-for-the-single-dad-next-door situation. Except…he’s working so hard to be the best dad he can be, keeping their Christmas traditions even when it’s hard and making sure the girls get the help they need to deal with their mom leaving. It’s hard not to daydream about being part of his life–of their life. And just when I think I know what (or who) I want for Christmas, my ex shows up begging for a second chance. Now I have to decide: revisit the past I thought I wanted … or risk it all on the man who just might be my future. A cozy, swoony, age-gap, single-dad closed door Christmas romcom—complete with cute kids, holiday magic, and one very inconvenient crush. less
