Finding Forever

Rule number one of co-parenting: Don’t fall for your ex’s new lover’s ex.

Too late.

I’m Gina — single mom, peacekeeper, and reluctant participant in a beach vacation with my unreliable ex for the sake of our son. I wasn’t planning on meeting Maverick — confident, magnetic, and maddeningly attentive.

Even worse? He’s my ex’s new girlfriend’s ex-husband.

When our exes take off together, Maverick and I are left juggling two disappointed kids and a simmering attraction neither of us expected.

He believes we deserve a shot at something real. I think we’re playing with fire.

He thinks our pasts don't define our future. I think the mess we're creating might destroy us all.

But when custody battles and family drama threaten what matters most, we have to decide:

Is this the start of forever—or a disaster we won’t come back from?
