He's the one man she swore she'd never fall for. Too close. Too steady. Too dangerous to her heart.
After canceling her wedding three days before the ceremony, architect Samantha Rose is done playing it safe. She's climbing the ladder, collecting accolades, and dodging every man who might crack her walls wide open. Until CJ, the best friend of my best friend's husband.
He's off-limits?and perfect. Thoughtful, devastatingly handsome, and always right there when she least expects it. Including the night her ex shows up with bad intentions.
CJ's had his eye on Sam for a while. But he's not here to chase her. He's here to stand beside her?if she'll let him. And the more time they spend together, the more Sam wonders if the man she swore she could never have... might be the one she's been waiting for all along.
Fall for this heart-melting, slow-burn romance about second chances, emotional unlearning, and the kind of love that doesn't ask you to change?it waits for you to come home.
Perfect for fans of Jasmine Guillory, Kennedy Ryan, and the "emotionally mature cinnamon roll with muscles" fantasy.
