This follows Penelope, who moves to the small town of Ember Falls with her son, Kai. There, she catches the attention of the local principal and ice hockey coach, Miles. But Miles senses there’s more to her story—who is she hiding from?

First off, the audiobook is fantastic—I highly recommend picking it up if you’re considering reading this. I love the chemistry between Penelope and Miles. She tries so hard to resist him, but he remains patient and present. The way he goes out of his way, even doing things he doesn’t enjoy just to see her, is so sweet.

I also adored her little boy, Kai—he’s such a cute kid, and Miles was incredibly sweet with him. This was a feel-good read with the perfect mix of intimacy, spice, and suspense.
