All Ethan wanted was a quiet life to raise his toddler son, EJ. Love was nowhere on his mind.
Jack Redmond was content with his life. He wasn’t looking to add any more friends to his small circle and he certainly wasn’t looking for a partner.
EJ unwittingly forces Jack and Ethan to share kinder words than insults, which leads to an unexpected friendship, and the two fall in love.
Unfortunately, Ethan finds his quiet life may have some not so quiet moments when Red Jackie rears his ugly head.
He’s not the boyfriend. But every Friday, Jack makes sure Ethan remembers his name—and his mouth. Ethan just wants a quiet life running his B&B and raising his son. Jack, the cocky garbage man, has other plans—like showing up every week to rattle Ethan’s windows, his patience, and something deeper he refuses to name. Their enemies-to-lovers dynamic is a masterclass in tension: insults that hide attraction, a toddler who adores Jack, and a small town that knows something’s brewing. The question isn’t if they’ll give in—it’s how hard they’ll fall. For fans of grumpy/sunshine, slow burn, and love that starts with a middle finger.
The truth could save them—or destroy everything. When Jack’s dark past resurfaces, Ethan is forced to confront a brutal choice: Can he love a man who’s spent his life chasing vengeance? And Jack must decide—stay and build a family with Ethan and EJ, or walk away to settle a score that’s haunted him for a decade. The truth isn’t just a revelation; it’s a test of love, trust, and whether some wounds can ever truly heal. This is second-chance romance with high stakes, emotional depth, and a love worth fighting for.
Carlos came to test their love. He didn’t expect Jack to pass. Ethan’s childhood best friend shows up with his own agenda, forcing Ethan to confront a past he thought he’d left behind. But Jack—possessive, loyal, and fiercely in love—refuses to let anyone, especially Carlos, come between him and Ethan. As old feelings resurface and new tensions flare, the question isn’t if they’ll survive this visit—it’s how hard they’ll fight for their happily ever after. This is second-chance romance with high stakes, emotional depth, and a love worth every battle.
