Her Mom’s Best Friend

See available purchase options

She’s wanted her mother’s best friend for years. Now they’re alone in a lake house with nowhere to hide.

Wren Bennett has wanted Celia Hart for most of her adult life. Not when she was a teenager. Not in a way that crossed a line. But since she grew up, built a career, and realized that every woman she compared to Celia came up short.

Celia is her mother’s best friend: elegant, sharp, newly divorced, and sixteen years older than Wren. She’s also the one woman Wren promised herself she’d never touch.

Then Celia buys an aging lake house after her divorce and hires Wren to restore it before summer ends.

Long days of demolition turn into wine on the dock. Wine on the dock turns into stolen kisses. And once Celia finally stops pretending she doesn’t want Wren, neither woman is prepared for how impossible it becomes to go back.

Because Wren’s mother has trusted Celia with every important part of her life. And if they tell the truth, Celia may lose her best friend. If they don’t, Wren may lose the woman she’s loved all along.
