Book Synopsis



"Heart-searing, sensual, and life affirming." ―EMILY HENRY, #1 New York Times bestselling author

Soledad Barnes has her life all planned out. Because, of course, she does. She plans everything. She designs everything. She fixes everything. She's a domestic goddess who's never met a party she couldn't host or a charge she couldn't lead. The one with all the answers and the perfect vinaigrette for that summer salad. But none of her varied talents can save her when catastrophe strikes, and the life she built with the man who was supposed to be her forever, goes poof in a cloud of betrayal and disillusion.

But there is no time to pout or sulk, or even grieve the life she lost. She's too busy keeping a roof over her daughters' heads and food on the table. And in the process of saving them all, Soledad rediscovers herself. From the ashes of a life burned to the ground, something bold and new can rise.

But then an unlikely man enters the picture--the forbidden one, the one she shouldn't want but can't seem to resist. She's lost it all before and refuses to repeat her mistakes. Can she trust him? Can she trust herself?

After all she's lost . . .and found . . .can she be brave enough to make room for what could be?

For fans of Tia Williams and Colleen Hoover comes a deeply moving and personal novel about sacrifice, self-reliance, and finding true happiness from "one of the finest romance writers of our age." ―Entertainment Weekly

I absolutely loved this incredibly beautiful story. Ryan has a way of writing that just grabs you and never lets you go. Her characters just came alive for me, with the emotion and vulnerability leaping right off the pages. It had me completely riveted and I didn’t want to put it down. Soledad and Judah's story was messy, and complicated, but sweet and passionate too. I loved how family and friends meant everything to them, supporting them, and giving them strength and courage. Soledad had her whole life planned out, and she loved being a stay at home mom, taking care of her family. Soledad and Judah met at a company party and had an instant connection, but Soledad was married so they tried to ignore it. When a betrayal turned her life upside down, Soledad had to find a way to take care of her three girls and not lose everything. Judah sees how Soledad and her girls were casualties of her husbands treachery, and he tries to help them, but knows he needs to keep his distance as they work things out for themselves. Soledad is working hard to become more confident, and with the help of her family and friends, finds her footing, and success doing what she loves. She's also learning to trust herself, and not lose herself in a man, no matter how strongly she is drawn to the one man she shouldn't want. But can she also take what makes her happy, without losing all she has worked so hard for? Soledad and Judah were everything and more. Their connection, maturity, chemistry, honesty, was refreshing and made this story feel extremely special. I loved the progression of Soledad and Judah's relationship. They took it slow, since it wasn't just the two of them, having to factor in the well being of their kids as well, making their relationship and the family they are building even better together. I loved how strong, determined, resilient, and funny Soledad was. Sweet, geeky, Judah was such a great dad, friend and lover! He made my heart skip a beat with his patience, protectiveness, and loving kindness. *sigh* I also loved seeing Yasmen and Hendrix again, their friendship is fun and beautiful, and I want to be in their group! This is an exquisitely written love story with deep heartfelt emotion, honest characters, and hot, sizzling love scenes. I absolutely loved every moment and wanted to read it all over again immediately!
