The Last Time: A beautiful single parent slow burn romance

❝ He swore he wouldn’t fall. She never expected to want him to. ❞

OLIVIA

Boxing Day was supposed to be spent with my children. Instead, I was alone in a hotel bar, drowning in heartbreak while my ex played happy families with his new girlfriend. And then he walked in.

Dr. Ryan Simmonds—arrogant, guarded, and too damn gorgeous for his own good.

He was supposed to be a one-night escape, nothing more.
✔ Not my sister’s heart surgeon.
✔ Not the man making my children laugh.
✔ And definitely not someone I could fall for when my world is already crumbling.

RYAN

I don’t get involved. Not after my fiancée left me for my brother.

But Olivia Brown is a complication I never saw coming.
✔ She’s fierce, exhausted, and willing to fight the world for her sister.
✔ She’s the one woman I shouldn’t want.
✔ And she’s breaking down every wall I’ve built.

Her sister’s failing heart means I’m her only hope. But Olivia deserves more than a man who can’t afford to love her.

Now I have to make an impossible
Be the surgeon who saves her sister… or the man who won’t break her heart.

🔥 A heart-wrenching, slow-burn romance about love, fate, and impossible choices.
📖 Perfect for fans of Emily Henry, Colleen Hoover, and Abby Jimenez.
