About this audiobook
A single mom who’s made a career of finding love for everyone else will put herself first this summer—if she can finally get real about what she wants—in this sizzling dual POV romance from the author of Don’t Tell Me How It Ends.
Three years after launching an indie matchmaking service and giving birth to her son, Zola Harper’s business and baby are both thriving. When her company is acquired and her son starts spending weekends with Zola’s ex, she finds herself flush with two things she’s gone without for so long—extra money and spare time. She’d planned to spend that time revolutionizing the online dating space, but if there’s one dating space that needs revolutionizing…it’s her own bedroom.
Even if Zola can be convinced to have some flirty fun on her child-free weekends, she won’t let a short-term fling distract her from continuing to build a future she can be proud of. She won’t let it distract her from real life—the real mom life she hopes to keep separate from her soft girl summer.
Venture philanthropist Vaughn Butler spends more time serving the communities he loves than his own interests…until a beautiful woman slides into his DMs. At first, Zola Harper seems too good to be true. She doesn’t even mind Vaughn’s bicoastal work schedule that leaves him with only weekends available. But despite their undeniable chemistry, there’s something missing. Something Zola’s not telling him.
Everything in Zola’s life is high stakes and too real. This whirlwind summer romance is just for fun…or so she thought.
