The man who entered my shop by mistake checks all the boxes on my perfect guy list. He’s the best thing that happened to me since my husband’s death. Why did we agree to be just friends? After years of struggling, my life finally makes sense again. Yes, I can rock this, on my own terms. All pun intended. Until Nick Peterson walked into my shop by mistake. Light hair, whiskey golden eyes, sun-kissed skin, and broad shoulders. And he can’t hide the effect I have on him as he goes speechless. For the first time in years, I believe life is back on my side. Our hot-scorching chemistry is undeniable, and how he interacts with my son can’t be faked. I’m falling. Fast and hard for the stranger I never saw coming. And never planned for. But behind his charming smile and generous personality, Nick Peterson hides a life-altering secret. One that keeps him up at night. One that haunts his nightmares after it shattered his life so badly that he moved across the country to make peace with himself and leave the ghosts from his past behind. One that I’m about to discover. The more I get to know him, the more I can see that behind all his goodness, charm, and addictive personality, there’s a man who’s been hurt before. With scars so deep they can alter our blooming relationship. One thing is sure. I’m done being scared. And I’m decided to help him navigate through his grief. Because Nick is the one person I see myself going the distance with. No matter what it’ll take. Is the stranger who just moved in town too good to be real, or am I given another chance at true love?
