A Hollywood leading man. A small-town widow. A love neither saw coming.

Widow Suzette Bosch never expected her daughter’s wedding to land her in the orbit of JK Kenzie, Hollywood superstar, uncle of the groom, and the man she’s — not so secretly — crushed on for years.

A lift to the wedding in his private jet? Fine.
A dance at the reception? Sweet.
One unforgettable night in Texas? A secret she intends to cherish forever.

But then …

He steps onto the patio of a hotel in her quaint seaside town.
Her hotel. Her town.
And he’s not here by accident.
He’s here for her.

But her past has left scars, and she’s convinced she’s unworthy of a man like him. Can he break through her walls? Or will fear cost them the love neither expected but both desperately need?
