I knew one time wouldn’t be enough. But I still said yes. Being with her was never an option—until she shattered my world.
I was nineteen when my dad passed unexpectedly. Watching my mother grieve the loss of her soulmate broke me in ways I never thought possible.
By thirty, I’d convince myself I was content—living freely, enjoying life, and the occasional company of beautiful women.
Then Penny Levine proposed a one-night stand, and I didn’t think—I acted.
There are a million reasons I should’ve said no. She’s my brother-in-law's financial advisor.
A family friend.
She’s also sexy, brilliant, driven, a millionaire in her own right—and just as opposed to commitment as I am.
But as we work together on the town's ice rink, one night turns into something more. Stolen glances. Sharp banter. Nights we can’t seem to end.
For the first time in my life, I realize I’d rather risk the kind of heartbreak that nearly destroyed my mother than spend a lifetime without her.
Then Penny drops a bomb that wrecks everything I thought we had—she’s marrying her childhood friend.
But I refuse to let her go.
Determined to prove we belong together, I take her to a place that’s ours alone. But when two blue lines appear, everything changes.
It’s now or never.
Can I convince Penny that the life we almost had is still within reach?
Or will we walk away—choosing safety over something real?
