    Summary

    Dennis Whitaker isn’t waiting anymore.

    Not for love. Not for a future someone else might decide he’s worthy of. He has Lena, he has his people, and he has a life he built from the wreckage of something that almost broke him.

    It’s enough.

    Andrew Abbot knows better than anyone what it means to start over.

    New name. New city. New rules: don’t get attached, don’t look back, don’t let anyone close enough to ruin it.

    Then Dennis shows up at his shop with a broken car and a soft smile, talking about his daughter like she’s the center of the universe.

    Andrew doesn’t stand a chance.

    They fall fast. Too fast. Into something warm and steady and dangerous in a way neither of them knows how to stop.

    Because Andrew has a past.

    And Dennis wants a future
