A heartbroken single dad. A restless scientist. One reunion that’s as angsty as it is irresistible in this spicy second chance romance from the author of Yes No Maybe and Every Chance After.

The two most important people in Henry Greene’s life are his six-year-old son, Olly, and Venus Blake—his high school sweetheart that he hasn’t seen in ten years, not since the night that changed everything. He’s tried to forget her, but he can’t. Henry is caught between missing his best friend and resenting her for abandoning him.

Venus Blake relies on logic, not love. Love is a trap—stifling, confining, no room to breathe. Venus craves space, adventure, and the freedom to indulge impulses that only hurt those closest to her—especially Henry, the only person she’s ever loved. For a decade, she’s traveled the world in the name of science, avoiding relationships, avoiding Henry, avoiding love.

But Venus can’t run forever. When her impulses cause dire consequences, she must face what she’s avoided most—her hometown… and Henry.

When her father forces their angsty reunion and a second chance, feelings clash with complications. He can’t walk away. She doesn’t know how to stay. But one last summer might be enough to rewrite their story—if their hearts can survive the experiment.
