Second Bloom

Her best friend already knows how to love her children. It's the rest of him she doesn't know.

Esme Taylor ended her marriage to protect her son from a father who couldn't accept him. Her parents took her husband's side. Since then, she's built a life around her flower shop and her two children, determined to be more careful about whom she trusts.

Grady Nash has somehow become the exception. For three years, he's been at her kitchen table, watching science documentaries with Robbie and coloring unicorns with Madison. He knows how her family works. Some days, Esme can almost forget he isn't part of it.

But loving Grady would mean trusting him with more than her friendship. And the man who runs the surf shack has been remarkably quiet about the life he had before Willet Cove.

When Madison needs surgery, Esme faces medical bills she can't afford and the prospect of asking her estranged parents for help. Grady could spare her that phone call. He has resources she knows nothing about—and a reason he's never told her.

Helping openly would expose a past he's spent years escaping, bringing a notorious family name into the lives of the people he most wants to protect.

Esme has already paid dearly for trusting the wrong man. Grady has to tell her how much the right one has been hiding.

Second Bloom is Book Three in The Parent App, a closed-door small-town romance about best friends, a fiercely protective mother, and a secret that could change her family.
