I came to Seattle to settle my late aunt's estate.
Not to uncover a family secret that rewrites my entire life.
Definitely not to fall for the grumpy neighbor across the hall.
Alec Horvath is broody, intense, and completely incapable of minding his own business.
He acts like my daughter, and I are temporary inconveniences in his carefully controlled life.
Unfortunately for him, my daughter, Mila, decides he belongs to us almost immediately.
The problem?
I'm still grieving.
Still untangling decades of lies buried inside my family.
Still trying to understand why the woman I thought was my aunt was actually my mother.
Falling in love was never part of the plan. And maybe the scariest part is this:
I'm starting to want forever with him too.
But love requires trust.
And trust feels impossible when your entire life has been built around people leaving.
Alec keeps promising he'll stay.
But can my heart believe that's possible?
From USA Today bestselling author Claudia Burgoa comes a thrilling romance about family, legacy, and what it takes to start over.
