About this ebook

Discover why millions love Ava Miles for unforgettable romance in this emotional friends-to-lovers story about the power of new beginnings—perfect for fans of Debbie Macomber and Susan Mallery. 

“It was like her heart was a camera lens, and she’d finally found the best setting for her life.” 

“A person got the kind of love they asked for, and he wasn’t going to keep hiding what he wanted from himself or her because it was more comfortable or convenient.” 

With her whole world turned upside down, the last thing international photojournalist Lucy O’Brien expected was for it to spin out of complete control. She finds herself falling for her longtime BFF, Dr. Andy Hale, the moment she arrives, risking their friendship.

Only she has a secret, one she’s too scared to admit to anyone lest it come true. But Andy knows her better than anyone, and while he’s still overcoming the loss of his wife and finding his way as a single parent, he’s not going to let Lucy hide anything from him. Certainly not in her controversial Calendar Girls’-project to raise money for breast cancer. Especially when he’s falling for her too.

At first, the sparks of attraction fly amidst their easygoing banter over ice cream cones. But there are deeper feelings at work here, and both must uncover the seeds of their new beginnings together, realizing there’s nothing more powerful than love and friendship to pave the way.

Ratings and reviews

4.5 Stars Ava weaves her magic once again. I love how the title fits so well with the book because for Lucy and Andy it's a calendar of new beginnings. The emotion this one grabs out of me. Lucy is doing what she loves but from the accident overseas the life and career she once knew may be over. She has no one to turn to, but her best friend Andy. Andy would do anything for Lucy. Once they're back on the same continent sparks of attraction ignite and takes their friendship in a whole new direction. Are the risks worth it? Lucy's future so uncertain she doesn't know how to handle the here and now let alone think about the future. Lucy is also struggling with her relationship with her mom. It takes some hits in this one, but can they find their way to each other. Previous characters in the series make appearances and sometimes steal the show. The whole concept of the calendar in this book is truly beautiful and heartwarming. This book sucks you and hold you prisoner until you finish. "I received an eBook copy from the publisher for the purpose of an honest review. I was not compensated for this review: all conclusions are my own."

Wonderful, Lucy and Andy are real and relatable, their struggles and connection is beautifully and sensitively written, along with their friends and family around them. Truly captivating ❤️

Lucy and Andy's story made me laugh out loud and cry softly. The family dynamics are wonderfully insightful. Another great read!
