Ellie
Being a single mom is the most challenging, yet rewarding job I’ve ever had. Especially in a small town, where everyone knows your story, or at least their version of it.
They say it takes a village, and they’re right. I’ve been lucky to have close friends to help me raise my son, Brody. One particular friend stands out above the rest. TD stepped up in a big way, teaching my son everything a father should. That’s why his friendship means so much to me. Brody and I both rely on his friendship. Any feelings I have for my sexy friend must stay buried. It’s safer that way.
Turns out, it’s much harder to do when he decides he’s done being just my friend. He wants more.
TD
There’s nothing worse than being in lust with one of your friends. For years, I’ve been fighting my attraction to Ellie and keeping it a secret. I thought I was doing what was best for all of us.
Between working as the local police officer and coaching high school football, I’m left with very little downtime, but what I do have is spent with Ellie and her son. When I find out the seventeen-year-old boy might be working to get this football coach and his mom together, all bets are off. With Brody on my side, I’m willing to take the chance and blur the lines between friends and lovers.
I have to make her see we can have it all. Despite her reservations, I’ll show her love is worth the risk.

REVIEW
5 Stars
This is the second book in the series and it is so goood!! I could not put this one down. TD and Ellie are going to make you fall in love right along with them. I love a good friends to lovers romance, but also throw in a single mom romance a recipe for a winner for me! This book is also a good reminder family isn't always blood it is sometimes the people we choose to have in our loves. It's a lesson I learned big time myself this year. Ellie and TD are so adorable together. This has a small town setting and that vibe is there through out the book. I love the group of friends as much as I did in the first book. Ellie's son Brody is one remarkable young man and he proves that several times in this book. You can see how close he and his mom are. Ellie hasn't had it easy since becoming pregnant as a teen, but she has had a strong support system all these years with her friends. It made heart happy to see how TD is with Ellie and Brody. He's been there every step of the way. This book has so much heart and feels!! I can't recommend this book enough!!
