Aly Martinez
From USA Today Bestselling Author Aly Martinez comes a new heart-stopping standalone romance. In the aftermath of tragedy, it's strange the things you remember. The deafening boom as the house exploded.The paralyzing fear as I searched for my wife.The blinding smoke burning my eyes as I carried her out. But carved into my soul for the rest of my days would be the earth-shattering realization that the woman in my arms wasn't my wife. Bree and I were the only survivors-not that either of us were truly living after that night. As a single dad with nowhere else to go, I moved into her guest house. And somehow, through the guilt and grief, we forged an unlikely team.It took years, but I watched the gradual return of her smile-slow and life-altering.The two of us could sit outside for hours, talking about nothing, and it filled the massive hole in my chest with new life. I may have carried her out of that fire, but the truth was, Bree saved me.As we healed, the secrets and lies of the past smoldered in the ashes, threatening to ignite again. Our love was born from the embers, and together we would go up in flames.

"I tried reading this a second time but I just can’t. I enjoyed the first half, but once we got to performing at the Grammys (yep, you read that right) I had to tap out. Sadly, it only gets worse from there. And I love a good “off the rails” plot twist, but this ain’t it. Giving two stars instead of one only because I’ve loved everything else I’ve read from this author."

"<strong>Sooooo good!! </strong><br/><br/>So many twists and turns, plus a sort-of enemies to friends to lovers....throw in wonderful chemistry, adorable kids, and angst...absolutely one of my top reads of 2021!"
Heather Hansard
"This isn’t necessarily single parent, more so two widows who know each other from their spouses who find their way to each other."

"This was a fabulous book. I was ****** from the very first page. Sobbing a chapter or two in through many of the pages. Shocked at 50%. Waiting for **** to fall apart from 50-80% and completely blown away at about 85-90%. This book could be a crossover into thriller, but truly an epic romance. Martinez outdid herself!"
