Briar Appleton has no intention of ever having a relationship or children. He lost his mother and grandmother far too young to cancer and refuses to pass that risk onto a future generation. Teasing and tormenting the snarky, uptight Marina is something he is up for. They’ve been circling each other for years—long before he started delivering organic produce to her mother when he was a teenager and caught her looking down her nose at his recycled vintage clothing.
When the teasing turns into something more, Marina and Briar have to make choices they never planned on and take risks they always shied away from. Can they find a way to be happy together—for the sake of their new family?
