Coming in January 2026:

Falling in love is easy, her brother always said.
Skylar doesn’t need a man in her life. She has a nice home, a career teaching art, and a cat named John Mayer. Still, she feels like she’s missing something. After her niece Alex calls with a big announcement on New Year’s Day, Skylar finds a photo of her fun, carefree week in Mexico where she laughed, she danced, and she let a man love her for a week.
As she relives her one, wild trip to Cancun, Skylar wonders what life might have been like if she’d kept in touch with Jose Mateo, as he’d asked, or if she’d let herself trust again, and taken more chances in love. But she’s an orphan now, the last of her nuclear family, and it’s taken everything she has to keep her life together these last few years. Dating at her age, even looking for a companion, would only complicate things.
When a second chance meeting with Jose reignites all of the old feelings, Skylar will have to decide if she’s going to stick to her old, safe routine. Or, if she can remember the young, adventurous version of herself—the one who had big goals, and lofty dreams—and let a man love her for more than a fling.
