When We Found Us (The South Grove Shores Series Book 2)
Josette Wilde never imagined her happy ending would start with her house burning down. Once a hopeless romantic who believed in grand gestures and cinematic kisses, Jo learned the hard way that real life rarely follows a script. When the man she thought was her forever walked out the moment she told him she was pregnant, Jo was left to rewrite her story-this time as a single mother to a fearless little girl named Hannah. Years later, just as Jo lands the kind of job that could finally give them the life they deserve, disaster strikes-her home is destroyed in a freak accident, leaving her and Hannah with nothing but each other. With no place to go, Jo turns to the last person she ever expected to lean on: Mitchell Harris, her charming, fiercely protective childhood friend. He offers them a place to stay, and Jo accepts-grateful, but uneasy. She's been secretly crushing on him for the last couple of years, and living under the same roof only blurs the lines she's fought for years to keep in place. As Jo and Mitchell fall into an unexpected rhythm-shared meals, whispered laughter, stolen glances-the life Jo always dreamed of suddenly feels within reach. But just as her heart begins to hope again, the past shows up at her front door. Hannah's father wants back in, claiming he's ready to be a father and fix what he broke. Now, Jo is faced with an impossible choice: return to the familiar comfort of a love that once betrayed her, or risk everything on the man who just might be her forever-if she's brave enough to believe in a new beginning.Complete
