Summary:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward, comes a new standalone novel.
At first, my neighbor Deacon frustrated me.
Sure, he was great-looking and friendly.
But our walls were thin, and on occasion, he\u2019d bring women to his place and keep me awake while
he \u201centertained\u201d them.
As a single mother to an infant, I didn\u2019t appreciate it.
So, finally it was my turn.
When my daughter wouldn\u2019t stop wailing one night, Mr. Manwhore came knocking on my door.
Miraculously, at the sound of his voice, Sunny stopped crying. And when he held her\u2026she eventually
fell asleep in his arms.
Deacon was rough on the exterior, but apparently on the inside? Mr. Single-and-Ready-to-Mingle
was a baby whisperer.
After that night, we became friends.
He\u2019d go for coffee runs. Come over to chat. Normal friend stuff.
But over time, our conversations ran deeper. We got closer.
Until one night we crossed the line.
Our friendship turned into a complicated mess.
I\u2019d gone and fallen for a guy who\u2019d sworn off commitment and kids.
I knew Deacon was starting to care for me too, even though Sunny and I didn\u2019t fit into any plan he\u2019d
ever imagined for himself.
He was wrong for me\u2014so wrong that I\u2019d dubbed him the \u201canti-boyfriend.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
