When brooding, tattooed Hanson literally sweeps Thea off her feet on a sidewalk encounter, she's convinced he's the last thing she needs—she's got enough complications with her ex and her single-mom status without adding a younger bad boy to the mix. But Hanson's determined to prove he's different, and one incredible date later, Thea finds herself tangled up with him in ways she never expected. As their connection deepens and walls come down, they'll have to navigate an ocean of obstacles—including that pesky age gap and Thea's messy past—to figure out if what they have is worth fighting for. This is a swoon-worthy second chance at love wrapped up in all the heat and heart you could want.
