Josette Wilde has always been a hopeless romantic, dreaming of falling in love and living out her own rom-com fantasies. But reality had other plans. When the man she believed was "the one" walked out after learning she was pregnant, Josette was left to navigate single motherhood, raising her spirited daughter, Hannah, on her own. Years later, just as she's finally landed a promising new job that could turn things around, disaster strikes-her home is destroyed in an accident, leaving her with nowhere to go.
Out of options and desperate, Jo turns to Mitchell Harris, her charismatic childhood friend. Mitchell offers her and Hannah his home, and while Jo is grateful for his kindness, it's complicated. She's harbored a secret crush on him for as long as she can remember, but he's barely ever noticed her. As they settle into a domestic rhythm, the boundaries of their friendship begin to blur. For the first time in years, Jo feels like she might actually have a shot at the love story she's always imagined.
Just as Jo starts to believe in the possibility of her own happily-ever-after, her past comes crashing back. Hannah's father suddenly reappears, claiming he's ready to step up and be the family they once dreamed of being. Now Jo is caught between the comfort of a rekindled hope and the messy, unpredictable promise of new love. With her heart-and Hannah's future-on the line, Jo must decide whether to embrace the past she once longed for or take a leap of faith toward the future she's always dreamed of.
