He’s her brother’s best friend. She’s never had a thing for single dads or younger men… until him.
Evan
I’ve built my life around two things: protecting my daughter, Skye, and serving Whiskey River as a detective.
Love? It’s off the table.
I can’t have both—it’s not fair to Skye, and I’ve already been burned once.
But when Calista Stapleton—the woman I’ve wanted for as long as I can remember—comes back to Whiskey River, all my carefully built walls start to crack.
She’s my best friend’s sister, and she’s supposed to be off-limits.
But when I’m injured on the job and she steps in to take care of me and Skye, it feels like she’s exactly where she’s meant to be.
Calista
I’ve spent the last decade pouring myself into everyone else—patients, family, responsibilities.
Now I’m back home, hoping to reconnect with my family and start fresh.
But Evan Greer is here, too—my little brother’s best friend, the man I’ve always tried to ignore.
He’s strong, stubborn, and so fiercely protective of his daughter, it makes my heart ache.
When he gets hurt, and my brother insists I move in to help him recover, the fragile line we’ve been balancing on starts to disappear.
Every day with him and his daughter makes it harder to ignore the pull between us.
But he’s my brother’s best friend, and if this falls apart, it won’t just be my heart on the line.

REVIEW
4.5 Stars
This is the eighth book in the series. Detective Evan gets his story. This book had me at single dad. Then we had the intriguing tropes of reverse age gap and brother's best friend. Evan's daughter Skye is such a delight! I loved her to pieces. Calista is back in town at a crossroads with her career path when she unexpectedly finds herself moving in and helping Evan with his recovery. The instant bond Calista creates with Skye warmed my heart. You also get to see many of the previous characters in the series popping in supporting Evan, but also befriending Calista. I love Calista's best friend. They are friendship goals for sure. This book delivers on all the feels and heart, but also the heat and humor. Glad it's not a complete goodbye because a spinoff series is coming!
