Bryan wants to prove himself that they can be a family but Eilish doesn’t trust easily so they both must work to build a foundation to their relationship.
I liked this book but probably wasn’t my favourite of the series but I like how both authors write. I’m not sure if there are any books in the series but I would love to see a book about William.
