Forgiving Amy

She wants a second chance. He never wants to see her again.

When Milo told me his sister had died and he was taking custody of his nieces, I panicked. My mother was a disaster, and I was terrified I'd be the same. So I said I couldn't do it — and I lost the best man I'd ever known.

I changed my mind the next morning. He wouldn't take my calls.

Three years later, he walks his five-year-old into my kindergarten classroom.

He's still angry. He doesn't want Mia to know our history — she loves school too much to let anything ruin it. So we pretend. Professionally polite. Nothing more.

Except Mia has other ideas. And apparently so does his friend Art.

Things start to rekindle slowly, carefully, in secret. Then the school announces a policy about teachers dating parents. Milo ends things without hesitation — Mia staying in my class matters more than what's growing between us. It feels exactly like a breakup anyway.

Then one of the girls gets sick in the middle of the night, and he calls me.

And I dare to hope that this might end in a happily ever after.

Forgiving Amy is a sweet, closed-door romance about a woman who made the wrong choice in a moment of fear, a man who took a long time to forgive, and two little girls who brought them back together. Book four in the Bluebonnets & Billionaires series.
