It’s finally my turn to be in love, but love is never easy.

Of all people in the world for Andrew to be best friends with, it had to be my dad. 

To top it all off, he’s pulling back because of his daughter, as if he can’t possibly love us both.

But maybe it’s about more than loving. Loving after losing someone you thought you’d spend your life with forever has to be hard. I need to give him room, but all I want to do is crowd in tighter. 

A quick turn of events, and he decides to sweep me away for a weekend getaway, but our plans are foiled by an accident.

One that has the power to change everything—again.

Everyone seems to be in love but me. Why is that?

Relationship after relationship and nothing.
I’m always the bridesmaid, but never the bride.
It’s getting old. Fast.
And just at the moment I start to give up, he walks into my life.
Sexy, strong, older. One of my students' father.
It’s against the rules to feel the way I do about him, but I can’t help myself.

A single father with a sexy demeanor and deep pockets.
But that’s not what gets me about him.
It’s the way he looks at me. As if he already owns me.
The relationship can be our little secret.

Or can it?

The ring is beautiful, and the wedding is set.

Nothing can get in the way of our plans—other than a wild teenager with a chip on her shoulder and a blowup at Andrew’s company.

Raising a kid is hard enough, but with the extra pressure all around him, Andrew is ready to crack. 

There’s only so much I can do to soothe him and help things progress while pushing back my own family and working to keep my job in the chaos. 

Maybe love is too much to handle. Single was way easier, and yet, I’m not sure I could do life without him now that he’s been mine.

The wedding will happen—right?
