Forever and Always by J.E. Daelman

She came for a fresh start. She never expected to find a family.

Divorce lawyer Maylee Ferndell is done with men—at least, that’s what she tells herself when she moves to a small town to be near her best friend, Whitney. A new job, a quiet life, and absolutely no romance on the agenda.
Then she meets Myles Barstow.
The ruggedly handsome mechanic with grease-stained hands and a heart of gold has sworn off relationships, too. After his ex-wife abandoned him and their son for a payoff, Myles isn’t looking for love. He’s focused on raising eight-year-old Oren and running his garage alongside his brother, Clem.
But when Maylee steps into their lives, everything changes.
Oren decides she’s his from day one—defending her honor with his little fists and calling her “Mom” before the ink is dry on their first date. And Myles? He can’t resist the fierce, sassy lawyer who stands up to bullies, threatens principals, and loves his son like her own.
As Maylee fights to adopt Oren and make their family official, she and Myles discover that sometimes the best things in life aren’t planned—they’re found.
Between scheming neighbors, schoolyard drama, garage expansions, and one very determined little boy playing matchmaker, Maylee realizes she didn’t just find a man. She found her forever.

Forever and Always is a heartwarming small-town romance featuring a protective single dad, a fierce lawyer heroine, an adorable kid who steals every scene, and all the found-family feels. Complete with a happily ever after and no cliffhanger.
