When recently divorced Cooper stumbles into a dive bar with his well-meaning parents, he's convinced nothing could spark his dead love life—until he locks eyes with Nora, his best friend's ex best friend. What starts as a fun, flirty night of banter and chemistry becomes something neither of them can ignore, even though every unwritten rule of friendship says they absolutely should. As their passionate connection deepens, they're left wondering if this one magical night is just the beginning, or if some attractions are simply too complicated to turn into forever. Quinn's charming novella perfectly captures that intoxicating rush of forbidden chemistry and the delicious question of whether the best love stories sometimes break all the rules.
