To Build a Home

You know that story—girl meets boy, they fall in love, have a baby, and live happily ever after? That’s not this one. More like girl meets boy who she doesn’t realize is a lying scumbag until it’s too late. The one good thing that came out of it is my daughter.

My life is a mess as I’m forced to return home. The last person I expect to save me is my brother’s best friend, Rhyland Cole. The same man I spent my entire childhood pining over.
When he offers us a place to live, I watch the way he is with my daughter, making all those feelings from the past resurface. Between the secret touches and longing glances, is it possible he feels it too?

My heart is fragile, especially when I have to put my daughter first above everything else, but maybe Rhyland is the one meant to heal the shattered pieces. After all, in some ways, my heart was always his.
