Losing her dream job was bad. Waking up in her best friend’s bed was worse. When her high school crush comes back, Kenley must choose between the life she planned and the love she never saw coming.
Kenley Graves has spent her entire life checking boxes. At thirty-two, she’s a successful adoption lawyer in Los Angeles, just as she always planned. But in eighteen hours, her world shatters. She’s fired, and in a moment of despair, she falls into bed with her best friend, Luke. Soon, her car is towed, her lease is canceled, and Luke is suddenly planning their entire future. He’s suffocating, overbearing, and moving way too fast.
Desperate for clarity, Kenley escapes L.A. for her sister’s baby shower in her hometown. A chance encounter at the airport changes everything when she runs into Jordan Thomas, the most popular boy from her high school class, who also happened to be her crush. He’s also heading to the shower, and he shocks her by admitting he’s wanted to take her out for over a decade. With Jordan, everything is easy, supportive, and exciting, a stark contrast to Luke’s intensity.
