Blame It On The Lattes

Rule #1 for newly divorced single moms:

Don't fall for your best friend's brother.

Even if he is as handsome as he is kind and makes the most addicting lattes. Add in how great he is with your daughter and how he rushes to offer both of you a place to stay when you find yourself in need, and you may as well consider yourself a goner.

But even as perfect as Sam is, a future with him is not possible. His life is in Sugarplum Falls while we're just passing through as we pick up the pieces to start over. Staying would only complicate things, and neither of us needs that.

Allowing the chemistry between us to ignite is a dangerous game, and I can't afford to get burned. In another life, I might have considered what could be between us, but it's not just my heart on the line anymore. Now there's a little girl who is quickly getting attached to a man who isn't ours to keep.
