Willa Willis doesn’t need anyone. After years of self-discipline and staunch routines, she’s curated the life she always wanted. Her photography studio is a proud middle finger to her estranged family and everyone else who doubted her. But even a self-made woman has to let loose once in a while. A birthday trip is exactly the break she needs, until Mr. Too Perfect shows up.

Trevor Jones lives life on the bright side. Despite a harrowing childhood, the former Coast Guardsman doesn’t sweat the small stuff and never holds a grudge—except for one. When the past comes back to haunt him, a weekend getaway serves as the perfect distraction. Running into the woman of his dreams is icing on the cake.

Convinced they’re incompatible, Willa refuses to give him the time of day. Trevor’s determined to prove her wrong. When they end up in the same bar, one flirty encounter leads to an unforgettable night together. But the next morning she’s gone, forcing him to grapple with unanswered questions and radio silence.

Willa’s intent on leaving the past where it is...until two little pink lines shake up all her plans.

After walking away from her soul-sucking corporate job, Amara Singleton is finally chasing the dream she’s held since childhood—opening a boutique dedicated to her own plus-size clothing designs.

There’s just one problem.

The only storefront she can afford is falling apart and is in desperate need of renovations.

When she unfortunately runs into Theo Sinclair, her childhood best friend—and first love—who disappeared from her life without a trace eight years ago, he makes her an offer she can’t afford to refuse. He’ll renovate the boutique for free… if she gives their friendship another chance.

Working side by side forces them back into the easy rhythm they once shared, and the more time Amara spends with Theo, the harder it becomes to ignore the feelings she never truly left behind.

She finds out Theo’s been carrying a life-altering secret for eight years—one that could destroy the fragile second chance they’re building. Now Amara must decide if some wounds are too deep to heal…or if love is worth the risk of breaking her heart all over again.
