FROM POPULAR ROMANCE AUTHOR DEANA BIRCHAttorney Amee sets aside her own needs to juggle the broken pieces of her life and family until mechanic Ben repairs her heart.Divorce attorney Amee Benton—who has an ex of her own—is pretty sure she’s a #MomFail. Showing up late on a Friday night to retrieve her car from the shop and finding the pink frosted cupcakes she forgot to leave at her daughter’s … forgot to leave at her daughter’s ballet camp confirms it.
When mechanic Ben Mathis confesses to stealing one of the confections and asks who is taking care of Amee, she knows he’s a unicorn—a magical, beautiful beast who surely only exists in fantasies, so she tells him just that, with an F-bomb for good measure.
Amee has three things Ben finds irresistible in a woman—brains, a family and a serious potty mouth. During a chance run-in at Ben’s own personal hell, AKA the mall, he summons the courage to ask her out. Though Amee is leery of dating a younger man and Ben is more than aware of their social gap, the two take a chance.
But Amee’s life isn’t like his. And when her ex returns and the doubting divorcée blunders, all Ben’s insecurities are piqued anew. Now, Amee must prove to Ben that his worth is much more than stand-in dad and rebound boyfriend or she’ll watch her magical unicorn gallop off into the forest forever.

What a beautiful take on the realities of divorce, working mom status, and age-difference romance. Every character is so well-written and makes for a delightful read full of delicious highs and heart-gripping lows. Settle in with a cup of coffee and a sweet treat of your own. You don’t want to miss this!
Amee is a family law lawyer, and has an uncomfortable divorce of her own in her past. Worse, her ex husband is in prison for vehicular manslaughter . Her girls had to face that their daddy killed someone else’s daddy. Pete would be out in 3 years or less, but that other daddy would never get to go home.
She met sexy mechanic Ben when she was late picking up her fancy car for repairs. And he confessed to eating one of the cupcakes she had forgotten and left in the car. A saucy match made in frosting.
Ben is unafraid of her crazy family situation. But he wants to be seen as more than a dark secret fling. Naturally, Amee blows it – more than once, and says little to or about him in front of the other moms. She says she is just bruised from all the gossip the girls suffered because of their dad. She has no idea what it feels like to be treated as worthy only for meaningless things.
Maybe Amee blew all her chances. Maybe Ben loves her and her girls enough to give them a third chance.
Steamy and sweet, messy romance.
