At twenty-five, Kylie Hayes is a nurse, a mother to three-year-old Aidan, and a woman determined to move forward after a marriage that left more damage behind than she wants to admit. With her ex-husband out of the picture and custody finally within reach, Kylie believes she might finally have a chance to figure out who she is outside of being someone's wife and mother.
After being convinced to start dating again, Kylie finds herself in an awkward position.
Three dates. One weekend. Three very different people.
Jaclin is confident, unpredictable, and forces Kylie to question a side of herself she never expected to explore.
Brett is a charming man who seems to understand her in all the ways she wishes her ex-husband had. And with looks that make her reconsider her three-date rule before they even meet in person, Kylie can't help but wonder if he might be exactly what she has been missing.
And then there is Charlie O'Connor.
Her brother's best friend. A correctional officer. And someone Kylie has known for years but never thought she would look at quite like this.
Charlie is quiet, protective, and surprisingly good with Aidan. But underneath the man sitting on her couch watching cartoons is someone Kylie realizes she may not know as well as she thought.
What was supposed to be one weekend of awkward dates quickly becomes something Kylie never expected.
Old wounds begin to open. Feelings become harder to ignore. And Kylie starts to realize that red flags are not always easy to see until it is too late.
Three people have entered her life, but by the end of the weekend, Kylie may be left questioning everything she thought she knew about love, trust, and the people willing to do anything to protect her.
Because sometimes the person who makes you feel the safest is also the one hiding the most.
