Darren has the life she thought she wanted—wife to NFL superstar Carter St. Patrick and mother to seven-year old twins. Until her grumpy, maddeningly attractive best friend, Grey Jameson, reappears.

He is no longer the man she once knew, but an Olympic star with unfinished feelings from the summer of her twenty-first birthday, when she found herself caught in a love triangle between Grey and Carter.
And the past refuses to stay buried.
Old desires ignite. Secrets unravel. And Darren is forced to confront a truth she’s been running from: the heart doesn’t forget, no matter how hard you try.
Now, caught between the life she built and the love she never truly let go, Darren must make an impossible choice.
Because this time, it’s not just her heart on the line—it’s everything.

**Formerly the Messy Duet combined with new cover and minor revisions and the story before Comfort of a Man.**
