Adele Brannon and Kamryn Matika have been inseparable since college, but Adele’s decision to sleep with Kamryn’s fiancé Nate shattered their bond.

Kamryn, who has never planned on becoming a mother and feels a protective spark for Tegan—a reminder of the man who hurt her—must navigate career challenges, an unstable love life, and the realities of adopting a child. Through conflict and unexpected affection, the story follows Kamryn’s struggle to become the caregiver Tegan needs while the two women learn to forgive and heal. The novel explores female friendship, betrayal, the hardships of adoption, and the hope that family can be forged in the most unlikely ways.
