A cello prodigy who walked away from music. A charming heir with no fortune and no filter. Their deal was supposed to be simple… until feelings complicated everything.
Lovey Hahn had a plan: work at the swankiest country club in the state, save every penny, and finally buy her late mother’s dream house—the one that was supposed to fix everything. Sure, she had to put her own dreams of being a professional cellist aside, but achieving her mother's dream would be worth it.
What she didn’t plan on? Aaron Astor crashing back into town.
The travel empire heir is infuriatingly handsome, absurdly confident, and says he’s “looking for love”—which is rich, considering he’s actually broke. As in, disowned-by-his-family broke. And he’s not chasing romance so much as chasing redemption: if he marries the right kind of girl, he gets his inheritance and his family’s respect.
Lovey doesn’t blow up his plan. She sees an opportunity—and makes a counteroffer: buy her mother’s dream house, and she’ll keep his little secret.
Totally reasonable. Totally business.
Except Aaron keeps showing up. In her space, in her head, and unfortunately, in her heart. And somewhere between the fake flirty smiles and real stolen moments, Lovey starts to wonder if she’s fighting for the wrong dream entirely.
Because chasing her mother’s dream is one thing. But choosing her own path and risking her heart for a guy who swore off love? That’s a whole new kind of terrifying.
My Review: 5 STARS
I’ve read all of Sutton’s previous books and loved them all for different reasons, but this one hit different. This one felt like coming home, and being wrapped up in a warm hug that pulled you along through the trials and pitfalls, making you fall in love with a character that you’d previously not liked. I adored Lovey, the relatable part of her, the pain, the angst, and the way she came out of her shell and stood on her own. Sutton always has a way of making you root for the characters, for their love, and this time it was a delight to sink into the pages and just lose myself in this romance. Very much recommended and one that I can see myself going back to read again and again.
