Sandwiched between caring for her mother and rebuilding the relationship with her estranged daughter, Emma, Rosie Lucasβs life is full. In the best way. With Emma and her 3-year old daughter, Olive, back home, Rosie has a partner for The Rainy Day Bookshop, the family business, and a chance to fix the past. What she doesnβt have time for is a romantic relationship. And even if she did, Andrew Morgan is the last person sheβd choose. Not only is he an arrogant and reclusive writer, but heβs a single dad with two young kids. Sheβs already been there, done that. Still as an irresistible flirtation builds between them, he becomes her unexpected confidante on the distance Rosie canβt seem to overcome with Emma, a secret she canβt quite unravelβ¦
Emma isnβt proud of her past. But sheβs pulled herself up by the bootstraps, caring for her own daughter, and protecting her mom at all costs. Just as she always has. She never told Rosie what she saw all those years ago and she never will. But some secrets refuse to stay buried, and sometimes the truth is more shocking than fiction. Rosie and Emma will have to navigate an unimaginable path forward. Together.
