Witty, heartfelt, and impossible to put down.
In their latest, Cheatham and Underwood turn a simple mistake into the gentle beginning of a second chance at love. Olivia Finley isn’t looking for love—she’s raising two girls and surviving loss. But when a mistaken package leads Lyle Westmoreland to her door, an unexpected connection forms. As family chaos and tender moments pull them together, can Olivia trust her heart once more?
Cheatham and Underwood create a heartfelt, emotionally grounded romance that unfolds through humor, family noise, and gentle restoration. Olivia and Lyle are both believable, compassionate people shaped by loss, which makes their cautious movement toward each other feel real rather than rushed. Olivia’s hesitation is never frustrating; it is anchored in grief, responsibility, and strong devotion to her daughters. Olivia’s close-knit circle—Charlotte, Sophie, the candid Gloria, and the lively Carla—adds equal parts comedy and affection to the narrative. The girls’ playful chaos, Gloria’s spirited observations, and the steady cadence of small-town life form a backdrop that matches the romance in appeal.
A spirited blend of grief, humor, and renewal.
