Publisher Description
Millions of readers have fallen in love with Ava's bestselling books...come join the family.
International Bestselling Author Ava Miles presents a heartwarming and romantic second-chance story about two people who rediscover their love for each other…and what it means to be a family. Connected to her bestselling Dare Valley series and what Publisher’s Weekly called “an appealing story,” this romance is guaranteed to make you believe in love all over again.
Quarterback Jordan Dean thought he had everything until his long-time girlfriend broke up with him. His football rock star life had become too burdensome to her. Plus there was another teensy, weensy reason. Chef Grace Kincaid had gotten tired of waiting for him to propose. Ouch.
When Jordan wins the Super Bowl, he tells himself it’s enough. But he can’t get Grace out of his mind. When she calls, insisting they meet, he eagerly agrees. .
Only to discover he’s going to be a father….
Grace had always wanted a happily ever after—her yellow house, the picket fence, and children—with Jordan. She’s not willing to settle for a shotgun wedding. But hope makes her agree to live next door to him in the dream house he’d secretly had built for her. The fire of their attraction and deep waters of their love reemerge as they become parents for the first time.
The gate between their houses becomes the key—to everything.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Media attention complicates life for two lovers in this inviting contemporary romance. Chef Grace Kincaid and NFL star Jordan Dean broke up due to Jordan's hectic schedule and excessive media pressure. But the separation is short-lived when Grace discovers she's pregnant. Jordan offers to move her into a replica of her dream house, which he built as a surprise for her; after she left him, he started building another home for himself right next door. Will their love for each other and the baby make them a family, or are they destined to be amicable neighbors, separated by the garden gate? The prologue neatly summarizes Jordan and Grace's backstory and sets up the conflicts that led to their breakup. Naturally flowing dialogue captures the closeness between the two protagonists. Their interactions with Grace's mother showcase their history and emotional turmoil, as well as Grace's love for Jordan and dislike of the social expectations and media attention around his personal life. Jordan's and Grace's alternating perspectives give the story momentum and effectively reveal Jordan's past as well as his fears when he realizes he will be a father. The constant love, and the tasteful sexual interludes, bring a sensual, dynamic tension to this appealing story. (BookLife)
