Rediscover this beloved friends-to-lovers romance from New York Times bestselling author Debbie Macomber. After breaking up with her boyfriend of five years, leaving town, and investing in an ice cream and pizza restaurant, Shana Berrie is ready to start her new life as an independent businesswoman. But when her sister, Ali, is sent to sea as a naval nurse, Shana is left to take care of her nine-year-old niece, Jazmine. And although she is open to challenges, her opinionated niece makes Shana question if she can handle this task alone. Luckily, Commander Adam Kennedy—a family friend of Ali and her late husband, Peter—takes his duties as a godfather very seriously. Shana and Adam help each other in the monumental task of being substitute parents, but Shana doesn’t have any intention of allowing Adam into the new life she built for herself. Contrarily, Jazmine has other plans that involve pushing them to open their hearts to each other and helping her aunt find a navy husband. Previously published.
