About this book
When you're trying to rebuild your life, the last thing you need is complications—but Cole Matthews waltzed right into her world with those dimples and genuine kindness, and suddenly she was falling hard despite all her promises to stay focused. Just when everything feels perfect, ghosts from both their pasts show up uninvited: her former flame Luke threatens to expose vulnerabilities she's worked so hard to overcome, while Cole's ex-girlfriend Jackie—his former best friend and first love—returns to town with years of shared history that feels impossible to compete with. Now she's forced to confront the messy reality that sharing secrets is one thing, but truly working through the issues that could tear them apart is something else entirely. This is a romance about choosing each other even when the past makes it terrifyingly difficult.

“Create a playlist called Don't Leave. Intense chemistry meets emotional vulnerability—sultry R&B and indie pop with raw, honest vocals. Sensual beats layered with passionate intensity. Think The Weeknd, SZA, and boygenius. Steamy yet tender moments of longing, jealousy, and second chances wrapped in contemporary heat.”
