Synopsis

Annie

All I need to do is keep my head above water. Push a little harder. Keep that smile plastered on my face for my son as we try to wade through the new life that's threatening to drown us both. But on the first day I can't seem to hold it all together, I meet him. And for some reason, he comes to my aid. Before I know it, Cole steps in and becomes an important part of my life. Our lives. Fills a void left vacant by a man who never wanted to fill it in the first place.

Too bad he can never be more than a friend.

Cole

All I need to do is be a nice guy to my new neighbor. Make her smile a little bit. Find space in my tidy, structured life to ease the burden she carries so she and her son can enjoy life without the bastard who treated them like they were insignificant. I don't expect to talk and laugh and feel a warmth in my chest I didn't know was missing until she showed up at my door. Somehow I end up caring about her more deeply than I should. But my friendship with Annie opens my eyes to what it could be like to have something deeper. To feel something stronger.

To fall in love like I mean it.

About Jillian Liota

Jillian Liota has been writing since she was old enough to hold a crayon. Her very first book, about a mermaid, was printed into hardback when she was just 5 years old. (Thanks for paying for that, mom and dad!) Over the years she continued to write fiction, primarily based on her own life. She went to college, then grad school, and began working in university settings in the US and New Zealand. In her mid-twenties, Jillian read her very first romance novel and was instantly hooked. Her first (real) novel, The Keeper, released in November 2016. Since then, she has released three other novels to much positive feedback and continued interest. Jillian currently lives in Kailua, Hawaii with her husband, Danny, and pet minions, Maia, Amelie and Hobo.

Goodreads review by Laura

I adored everything about this novel. The characters were so fabulously described, I actually felt like I knew them. I was totally routing for Cole and Annie from the first chapter. I think we’ve all been Annie. Feeling completely alone and lost at times. Life can throw some pretty devastating curve......more
