Better than Yesterday (Sunset Siesta #5)

She left me twelve years ago. Now I have three months to make her stay forever.

Braden: Tessa Donovan wrecked me when she chose her future over us. I rebuilt myself one beer recipe, one brick, one exactly constructed wall at a time. My brewpub. My rules.

My life, exactly the way I want it. Then she walked back into Dove Key, Florida, like twelve years was nothing.

And I’m forced—by the world’s stupidest insurance technicality—to be her divemaster for a twelve-week marine research project. Every day.

Experiencing the same saltwater, watching her fall in love with this reef like she once fell in love with me. She’s trying to be professional about it.

I’m trying to remember why I should let her go again. My family loves the drama, weighing in on whether we’re a mistake or a match.

I’m the one who proposes the arrangement: twelve weeks, no strings, an expiration date we both agree to. It protects both of us. But those years apart didn’t kill the fire.

They just made the inevitable collision even hotter. Every dive together reminds us why we were always better together than apart.

And Tessa is keeping a secret, a career-defining job offer on the other side of the world.

I spent a decade getting over her. Twelve weeks isn’t enough to do it again.
