One deep breath. Two slow blinks. Three hollow beats.
I’m still here.
After three years, that reminder isn’t as necessary. But everyone has their bad days. This is definitely one of them.
Until an adorable little boy dashes into my store.
His zest for life makes me smile in a way that’s been long lost.
Then I meet his father.
Well, confront is more like it.
Brance Stone is volatile.
Offensive.
Harsh.
And can’t be bothered to care.
Not that I want him to.
I get frostbite just looking into Brance’s glacial stare. But there’s something undeniable about him.
My misery suddenly craves company. The suffocating numbness lifts whenever Brance is near. That alone should have me running in the opposite direction. Try as I might, there’s no avoiding him. If only I could understand why. As if he’d let me.
I don’t ask. He doesn’t tell. A silent, bitter truce settles between us.
That was our first mistake.
It’s certainly not the last.

Review
4 Stars
I love a single dad romance so I knew I had to give this one a read. The blurb pretty sold me on this one. I loved Braelyn and Brance's little one Oliver. I loved the bond that forms between them. Warms my heart especially learning Braelyn's past. Oliver is just a delight and my favorite scenes of the book include him. Now Brance, he's a character you have to warm up to. Not a huge fan of his in the beginning. I wanted to shake some sense into several times through this book. Though I will say I understand why he is they way he is. He's had a tough time in the past with women. It's all the more beautiful how Braelyn brings sunshine to his life.
Excerpt
Brance’s
suit is deliciously rumpled. A naughty gleam lingers in his eyes. Evidence of
our kiss lingers on his lips, slightly swollen and red. His hair sticks up in
sexy disarray, sections pointing in every direction. I curl my fingers, hiding
the guilty offenders. But combing through those silky strands will be committed
to memory. I want to do that again, multiple times. But I tamp my trampy side
down. For now.
He makes
quick work of straightening his tie. “You owe me a story.”
A boulder
drops in my gut. “Now?”
Brance
sweeps the brown locks off his forehead, erasing more proof of our tryst. “Nah,
gotta get back to the office.”
“Already?”
I’m still recovering from my orgasm.
He smooths
the wrinkles from his shirt. “My schedule leaves no time for deviations. I have
a full calendar every day. This indiscretion cost me several hours. I’ll be
working late to catch up.”
“Was that a
dig at me?”
“Does it matter?”
“Really,
Brance? Just like that?”
“Were you
expecting something else?”
I open my
mouth, then close it. Was I? How could I? Brance smirks at my extended silence.
“That’s
what I thought.” He tops it off with a wink for good measure.
“You’re
such an—”
“Asshole.
Yeah, got it. I don’t have time to rehash the details.”
