For Evelyn Welman, love hasn’t been a fairytale. It’s been a nightmare.
After a decade of marriage ended, Evie has done her best to rebuild her life. She followed her calling, opened a bakery, and has gotten to the point where she’s not struggling so much just to keep the doors open.
Then, one day, Alex shows up at her bakery wanting nothing but a coffee.
Aleksi Niemenen isn’t someone that slightly pink-haired Evie would expect to look twice at her. He’s older, well-put-together, strikingly handsome. The former quarterback turned Division I football coach does look at her, though, and he doesn’t want to look away after he finds her.
As both of them get to know one another, they realize they have far more in common than appearances might say. Together, they discover that tackling the trauma each comes with is something that seems doable when you’re not on a team of one. And Evie learns that fairytales might be real. They just might take a little longer to come around than expected and show up at your door after you’ve given up hope.
No third-act breakup. No template or trope checklist. Just a love story about healing and never giving up on Prince Charming. He might show up later as a grown man, in the form of a handsome football coach with control issues, a motorcycle, and more support and understanding than life tells you can exist.
