Liv Hart has spent years perfecting the art of not needing anyone.
She has her career, her apartment, her friends, and enough sarcasm to keep anyone who gets too close firmly at arm's length. After being cheated on one too many times, Liv knows exactly what happens when you hand someone your heart.
So she stopped handing it over.
Then Jake Reid walks into her life.
A firefighter, devoted single dad, and irritatingly decent man, Jake doesn't push past Liv's carefully constructed walls. He doesn't demand more than she's ready to give or make promises she's heard before. He simply keeps showing up.
And somehow, that's worse.
Because falling for Jake is one thing. Falling for his five-year-old daughter is something else entirely. Before Liv knows it, she's tangled up in bedtime stories, family picnics, one deeply judgmental black cat, and a man who makes being loved feel dangerously easy.
For the first time, Liv can see the life waiting on the other side of all those walls.
She just isn't sure she's brave enough to reach for it.
Especially when the Rewrite Club's latest mission pulls her into someone else's betrayal and reminds her exactly why she stopped believing in forever in the first place.
But Jake isn't asking Liv to need him.
He's asking her to trust that maybe, this time, she doesn't have to do everything alone.
A heartfelt single-dad romance featuring a sarcastic, fiercely independent heroine, a patient firefighter who falls first, found family, an adorably chaotic five-year-old, and the wonderfully meddling residents of Seabrook.
