The last thing I want to do is go back home and show everyone how far I've fallen. I'm not the high-powered lawyer they all expect me to be. I'm just a guy who slings drinks and scowls at the world. But then I hear about Max, my ex's ten-year-old son. My ten-year-old son. I have to go back now. Figure out how to be a dad. Face the love of my life. Make things right with Sadie and earn her trust.

Suddenly, I'm introducing myself as her betrothed and getting us invited to his wedding. Predictably, Larkin is intent on making my life miserable, except this barbed banter is kind of fun. And the more time we spend together, the more we discover we have in common. Then she kisses me to prove our relationship status and I damn near lose my heart. I'm ready to go all in with Larkin, but she's not the only one I hurt twelve years ago. Her intimidating brother has every reason to hate me too and doesn't want me touching his sister. But my lips and tongue don't count as hands. Right? Trigger warning: Physical and emotional abuse.
