The first hookup after a long relationship is always meaningless. Right?
Still reeling from his divorce two years ago, Joe Larson sleepwalks through life until a chance encounter with Liz Jensen jolts him awake. Their sexual chemistry is undeniable, but Liz is fresh off a broken engagement and has no intention of letting anyone get close. Joe must overcome his fear of being hurt again if he is to convince Liz that love does not mean being powerless and that their rebound fling is actually their happily ever after.

Notes: This is Book 2 of the series, but can be read as standalone. It takes place 4 years before Book 1, so you can definitely read Book 2 first and then Book 1.

Content warnings: The novel is a contemporary romance with deep feelings, character development, and a happy ending, but it also contains a number of graphic on-page sex scenes between the main characters. There is some on-page discussion of infidelity, infertility, mental health, divorce, and homophobia.
