After leaving her cheating husband, Ellie is looking for a fresh start for her and her daughter. But after moving into one of her father's apartments to get back on her feet, her plan goes out the window after a run-in with her neighbor, hockey heartthrob Trevor Adams.
She was supposed to be starting fresh after leaving her ex, taking time to figure out what her heart wanted and what would be best for her daughter. After becoming a mom at the age of twenty-one, and now a single mom at the age of twenty-six, Ellie is ready to stand on her own two feet and figure out life without a man. Although her heart remains intact, her trust is irreparable. Trevor is everything Ellie thinks she shouldn't want. He's hot, muscular, and has Playboy written all over his face. So obviously he's just another man she can't trust, right? But when he's attentive with her daughter, helpful when she needs anything, and just so kind all the time, it's hard not to wonder what if. Slowly their casual hellos and friendly smiles turn into talking for hours and stolen kisses. But can they stay just friends? Or will Trevor crash through the walls Ellie has worked hard to hold up?
