In Hot Water

Liz’s best friend, Janet, has it all: money, looks, and she recently found the man—and the job—of her dreams. Liz tries hard not to be jealous, but everything seems to work out in Janet’s favor. What’s worse is that Liz’s boyfriend of over seven years completely vanished from their shared apartment one day, leaving her nothing but a Dear Jane note. With her best friend about to transfer out of the company they both work for to begin her new life, Liz feels more alone than ever and finds herself spiraling into depression.
Then she finds hope in the form of Duke Washington—a man she meets at Janet’s wedding. The two discover a passionate connection, but Liz still isn’t ready for a serious relationship and they part ways, with Liz promising to call him when she’s ready. She accidentally loses his number, but fate crosses their paths again in an unexpected way, and with unforeseen complications. Will Liz finally stop being her own worst enemy and let go of her painful past in time to embrace a promising future?
