Mateo:
At forty-one, the threads of my life are beginning to fray. Forced into early retirement by a career ending injury, I’m spending my days recovering in my parent’s home, lost among the memories that grounded me for so long. Memories and a life that haunt the lonely days. I’m the happy one, the funny one. What I’ve never been is the loved one. Sure, women love what I can do for them, the money, the fame, the lifestyle, but the road to love isn’t what I expected, and I was starting to think I’d never reach my destination. Until a dark haired storm cloud drifts its way into my life. The only problem? She’s my younger sister’s best friend.

Jade:
My life is complicated. But Coop and me? We have it figured out. I’ve grabbed my trauma by the horns and forced myself to be the parent I didn’t have. Dating is not on the agenda. It’s not part of the plan. In fact, I’ve all but sworn men off in general. I don't need them. I don’t have time for their games or their bullshit, and besides, I have Cooper to think about. At eight, he’s young and impressionable and too smart for his own good. Which is why Addie’s brother has me lost. Coop adores him, and although Mateo has sixteen years on me, it’s like he knows the direct route to my heart while I’m waiting for my GPS to reroute me.
