She’s facing her greatest fear. He’s trying to keep his life under control. When Angie and Pete meet at her brother’s first chemo treatment, their connection is undeniable – and it could wreck their careful lives. But it could be exactly what they didn’t know their hearts needed.
Angie Harris has already lost both of her parents, and now her brother’s cancer battle threatens to break what’s left of her heart. With her job on shaky ground and her writing going nowhere, she puts everything aside to help David and his family through the fight of their life.
Pete Murphy has built a life that’s neat, quiet, and completely under control. His job is stable, his beloved truck is reliable, and his relationships are uncomplicated—exactly how he wants them. Or so he thinks.
Angie is certain she has Pete pegged: gym-bro, a perfect life, the kind of guy who never strays from the plan. But then he makes her laugh, listens, sees the real her, and somehow has the world’s best pickup truck. And Pete can’t take his eyes off her and can’t stop thinking about how smart and funny she is.
Neither of them expects to fall this fast, or this hard. And it terrifies them.
With her brother’s condition worsening, Angie and Pete will have to choose: safety in their independent lives, or something beyond unexpected?
But can love really grow in the middle of life falling apart?
