Publisher Description
"Prescott Lane breathes new life into single-dad romances with the young and devastatingly sexy Garrett." - USA Today
"Hot single dad devoted to his daughter? Second chances? All the tension you could ask for? Look no further! Devoured this gem and you will too!" - #1 NYT bestselling author Rachel Van Dyken
The beginning of any love story starts with the meet.
I've known Garrett Hollis since before I can remember, and I've loved him just as long. I loved him while he loved someone else. I loved him when he had a baby with her. I loved him when she left him.
The greatest of love stories is that between a dad and his daughter. I should know. I've had a front row seat. First steps, first words, all the big moments.
Garrett was just a teenager when Mia was born. I've watched him braid his daughter's hair, hold her hand crossing the street, seen her asleep on his chest. I'm the best friend, the one they can count on for everything from dance lessons to motherly advice, anything they need. I'm their go-to girl.
The best part of any love story is the happily ever after.
But what if the happily ever after doesn't include you?
All my life, that's how long I've loved him.
Of course, he's clueless.

Great small town romance
Devlyn has known Garrett her whole life. They grew up in the same small town together, went to to school together and were the best of friends. Devlyn knew her feelings of friendship had changed into love in their early teens and she always thought that one day he would feel the same way and maybe live happy ever after.
This illusion was shattered when they were 15 years old and Sheena came to town. She was tall, beautiful, from a big city and not shy about coming forward. Garrett’s head was turned and a summer romance between them blossomed. Until she had to return home with her family. Garrett was shocked when Sheena showed up on his doorstep several weeks later with a positive pregnancy test.
Garrett is the kind of guy you would want your daughter to one day marry. He is sweet, kind, sensible and very loyal. Okay, being teenaged parents is not really ideal but he believed in their love and knew they would be able to do this. Until Sheena stopped believing when their baby was 3 days old and walked away from them.
Becoming a single dad at 17 years old was completely overwhelming, he had the support of his parents and then there was Devlyn. His best friend who was always there for him and Mia. In fact, for every milestone in Mia’s life Devlyn has been there for both of them.
‘Just once, I wanted to know how he kissed. A life full of wanting that man, all I had to show for it was an ache so deep not even I could reach it.’ - Devlyn
Mia is about to turn 18 and has just graduated from high school. Garrett is going to be empty nesting at 34 years old and Mia would love for him to find someone special to share his life with so decides to meddle in his love life. The truth is that Garrett has always put Mia first. He hasn’t been celibate, he has dabbled but knew that he could never really have anything serious with someone because they probably wouldn’t understand that his daughter would always come first.
Mia’s meddling sets off a chain of events that brings all sorts of people out of the wood work. However this also leads Garrett into finally opening his eyes to what is right in front of him.
‘I was raised in Small Town USA – we stick. We don’t run when things get hard. We stay, we fight, we try harder. We don’t fold up shop and call it quits. Loving someone means sticking with them through thick and thin.’
Stories set in small towns, where everyone knows everyone and people who have been friends all their lives always give me warm feelings. It’s easy to slip into the story and forget about life for a while. I absolutely loved this.
