Lincoln Mathis doesn’t hide his reputation as Manhattan’s ultimate playboy. In fact, he cultivates it. But behind every flirtatious smile, each provocative quip, there’s a secret that Lincoln’s hiding from even his closest friends—a tragedy from his past that holds his heart quietly captive. Lincoln knows what he wants: someone like Daisy Sinclair, the sassy, off-limits bridesmaid he can’t take his eyes off at his best friend’s wedding. He also knows that she’s everything he can never have.

After a devastating divorce, Daisy doesn’t need anyone to warn her off the charming best man at her sister’s wedding. One look at the breathtakingly hot Lincoln Mathis and she knows that he’s exactly the type of man she should avoid. But when Daisy stumbles upon Lincoln’s secret, she realizes there’s more to the charming playboy than meets the eye. And suddenly Daisy and Lincoln find their lives helplessly entwined in a journey that will either heal their damaged souls . . . or destroy them forever.

Two wounded souls, past memories and heartache keep holding them hostage  …  until their eyes meet across a room and a true connection is made.  They just simply GET each other … they talk, they laugh, they share secrets … and along the way they start to fall for each other … but can the past let them go enough to be happy again?  This was such a good read!  It was sad and meaningful, and also fun and flirty.  I can’t tell you how many times I laughed out loud at their sassy antics.  Love this group of characters!

Lincoln Mathis has the rep of a major ladies man, and he likes it.  He needs the buffer to protect himself from a past he doesn’t want to share with even his closest friends, but when Daisy Sinclair steps into his life, he sees a kindred spirit who can see through his walls because she has her own set built around her heart as well.

Daisy went through a heartbreaking divorce that left scars on her heart that no one even knows about.  She’s hidden herself away from life for so long that she doesn’t know if she has it in her to get out there again.  When she becomes friends with Lincoln, she can be comfortable with someone for the first time in a long time.  He just gets her.

As they each work towards healing themselves, they lean on each other and slowly start to like the support they have and want more … but can they let their walls down once and for all to achieve it?
