When a chance encounter reunites Allie with the man who broke her heart seven years ago—and left her raising their daughter alone—she's forced to reconcile the villain she's built up in her mind with the genuinely changed man standing in front of her. Wren has no memory of that fateful night, but he's devastated to learn about the daughter he's missed and desperate to prove he's not the careless guy he was back then. As they navigate co-parenting, second chances, and an undeniable chemistry that refuses to die, Allie discovers that sometimes the person you've hated longest is exactly who you needed to find. This is a beautifully messy exploration of forgiveness, family, and what happens when you're brave enough to give someone—and yourself—a redo.
