Saving Nick by Amber Thielman

I made a promise to take care of my best friend’s daughter, but I didn’t expect to fall so hard for her hot firefighter twin brother. We used to be best friends, and now we can’t stand each other. But just as I was getting comfortable, my ex boyfriend shows up and proposes out of the blue.

I thought I had it all figured out— interviews lined up at prestigious med schools, living in sunny Miami, and dating a hot surgeon. Then my life turned upside down. When cancer ravishes my best friend Emily, her seven-year-old daughter, Piper, becomes an orphan. I know Emily’s conservative parents would raise the child if I asked, but that’s not what Emily would’ve wanted.

However, honoring my deceased friend’s last wish means moving to Seattle to co-parent with her twin brother, Nick, and giving up the life I worked so hard for. How can I do that? Especially after Nick broke my heart many years ago when he disappeared from my life.

Despite my reservations, I know I’d never forgive myself if I didn’t follow Emily’s wishes. Packing my suitcases, I move to Seattle to help Emily’s daughter process the loss of her mother. Within days, the little girl has wrapped me around her finger and Nick, too, is tugging at my heartstrings. Handsome and funny, sparks fly between Nick and me, making me question my long-distance relationship.

Just as things between Nick and me start heating up, my ex-boyfriend surprises me with a visit, asking me to marry him and return to Miami. The time to decide has come. Do I go back to my old life, or do I fight for the new life I’ve been building with Nick and Piper?
