NEW RELEASE

Monroe Lockhart left Cypress Falls, Texas at eighteen and thought she’d never look back. But that plan was easier said than done with a brother in prison and his five-year-old daughter, Maisie, being raised by Monroe’s mom.

When Monroe’s mom passes away suddenly, Monroe finds herself back in a town where she never really fit in, raising a niece she doesn’t even know. And if there’s one thing that Monroe’s certain about, it’s that she has no business being a parent, even if her new next door neighbor and former high school crush, Blake Bettencourt, disagrees.

Blake is also reeling from being thrust into a life she never expected to lead. Her ex-husband cheated, got his mistress pregnant, and suddenly, Blake’s standing on the outside of a life that used to be hers.

Monroe’s not in a position to turn down help, even from someone she never expected to call a friend. But Blake keeps showing up for her, breaking down the protective walls that Monroe’s spent a lifetime building.

The lives that they’ve both been thrown into are all wrong, but they may find out that’s exactly what makes everything between them so right.
