A Short-Read Contemporary Romance

They’ve built their lives around caring for others. Falling for each other wasn’t part of the plan.

Abby Halloway has built her life around caring for others. At her pet shop she looks after every animal as if it were her own, and every customer and pet leaves feeling seen, heard, and cared for. It is a life filled with passionate purpose.

Ethan Chen has done the same in his own way. As a devoted single father, everything he does is for his delightful little daughter. Her safety, her happiness, her future. It has been easier to keep his world carefully contained… and free of complications.

From the moment Abby and Ethan meet, the attraction between them is undeniable, a quiet, persistent pull that neither of them expected, and neither can ignore.

It shows itself in the ease that settles between them too quickly, and in the growing awareness that something in their lives may be missing after all. Because a life built around caring for everyone else can leave very little room for something of your own.

Sometimes, the right connection doesn’t arrive obviously, but with a warmth that slowly becomes impossible to set aside.
