Description
Lily Bloom is still running a flower shop; her abusive ex-husband, Ryle Kincaid, is still a surgeon. But now they're co-parenting a daughter, Emerson, who's almost a year old. Lily won't send Emerson to her father's house overnight until she's old enough to talk--"So she can tell me if something happens"--but she doesn't want to fight for full custody lest it become an expensive legal drama or, worse, a physical fight. When Lily runs into Atlas Corrigan, a childhood friend who also came from an abusive family, she hopes their friendship can blossom into love. Atlas, who is single and running a restaurant, feels the same way. But even though she's divorced, Lily isn't exactly free. Behind Ryle's veneer of civility are his jealousy and resentment. Lily has to plan her dates carefully to avoid a confrontation. Meanwhile, Atlas' mother returns with shocking news. In between, Lily and Atlas steal away for romantic moments that are even sweeter for their authenticity as Lily struggles with child care, breastfeeding, and running a business while trying to find time for herself.
