A journey of healing, hope and love.

SEAN

He loves running his family pub and the expansion into brewing is his contribution to the family legacy. But he hates seeing sad women in his pub, so he flirts, charms smiles out of the unhappy ones, and his Irish accent might be a little stronger as he teaches them a jig. Sad women remind of the terrible mistake he made. When Nicole walks in, pain radiates off her. He tries to coax a smile and even gets her to dance.

NICOLE

Eight months ago her world went up in flames. Once she was a dancer and a mother. Then her husband and daughter died in a fiery crash. Now she’s a mother without a child and a ballerina who cannot dance. Grief and guilt crush her. She retraces her daughter’s and philandering husband’s last day. Her final stop—O’Dair’s Pub. Her husband had been drinking with another woman before Nicole called and begged him to pick up their daughter.

Sean makes her smile. Makes her feel alive again. Maybe there is hope…

A numbers guy, Peter understands he’s made mistakes and he’s not certain if his mother-in-law’s surprising, but welcome, intervention will change anything.

But if there’s hope of lessening the divide and rebuilding their life together, he’ll get down on his knees and make a plea with his heart.

Will Claire and Peter get beyond their pain and follow their hearts back to the love they once shared, or will this plan ruin what’s left of their marriage.

Asher Anderson is a dick.

We aren’t friends, so when he seeks me out in the cafeteria on the worst
day of my life, I’m suspicious. When he tells Liam Heiter that we’re dating,
which couldn’t be further from the truth, I want to kill him.

Until I see Liam’s reaction.

Liam—my best friend, the guy who crushed every hope of us officially
being together—is jealous. He has never looked at me this way and I
love it.

So, I play along.

Maybe watching me with someone else will make Liam suffer like I have the
past four years. And maybe, just maybe, he’ll come to his senses and realize
we belong together.

It’s not like I have any kind of feelings for Asher. At best, I tolerate
him.

What’s the worst that can happen?

EXCERPT

What about you? Doesn’t that mean you’re only here for one thing too?”

“If I thought I had a shot with you, then maybe.” He smirks and my treacherous heart speeds up. How I can go from angry, to crying, to nervous is beyond me. Thankfully, Asher doesn’t notice because he adds, “But I know better.
