Tarryn King has been a thorn in Connor Jacobs’ side. Ever since the moment his disabled little sister became best friends with the snooty brat, Connor was left with no other purpose than to be the grumpy big brother, wishing for their falling out.

And he learned to live with that—until the day he gave her the shirt off his back … and discovered it’s possible to be jealous of an inanimate object.

For two decades, that embedded thorn has been the object of his desires. But that’s a secret he’ll never tell. She’ll always see him as her BFF’s mean older brother.

Besides, she isn’t just his sister’s best friend anymore. She’s THE Tarryn King. And what could a famous actress who has everything see in him? A single dad who collects garbage for a living.

But when her very attractive—and very available—costar enters the picture, Connor knows he has to make his move … or live with regret forever.

Connor is a single hardworking dad who is struggling to make ends meet and will defend who he loves. Tarryn is living in Scotland as a famous actress. These two have been in one another’s lives for decades so their relationship had all that time to grow since they have known one another since they were tikes leading them to have a beautiful slow-burn romance and a second chance at love from meeting again at their friend’s wedding and the feelings they had since they were kids started to come back. This was beautifully heartbreaking that had me cheering for these guys from the start so when I silently cheered knowing they got their perfect end.
