Her first impression of life without a husband? Radiator busted before she could finish unloading the car. The second? Grace—the overly nice woman bursts into her life to save her from moving into a place the locals call the murder cottage.When Grace offers Sloan and her young son an apartment in her barn instead, Sloan reluctantly agrees. Only… it’s not quite ready. And Grace’s “temporary solution” involves staying at a friend’s house.That friend? The one man that Sloan thought she would never see again. Conner Williams. The same guy that Sloan fell for during one unforgettable summer a decade ago. He stole her heart, then disappeared without a word.Now Sloan’s juggling a new job, a neurodivergent toddler, and a not-so-dead attraction to the person who’s always felt like home. Conner is calm. Steady. Safe. And everything she told herself she didn’t need.But healing isn’t easy. Especially when the past comes knocking—wearing a tool belt and making the perfect cup of coffee..A tender, emotional second-chance romance about rebuilding a life, rediscovering old flames, and learning that sometimes the person you need love from the most is yourself.Perfect for fans of slow-burn tension, strong heroines, and rugged men with soft centers. less
