Shalom Daniels has everything she wants in life outside of marriage and kids. Her career and personal relationships are flourishing, except when it comes to the relationship that matters most—one with a man dedicated to cherishing and protecting her heart. Fresh out of a relationship with a man who was almost perfect, Shalom begins to question if her boundaries and standards are too high, or if it simply isn’t her time for her happily ever after yet.

Mecca Smith has everything he wants in life outside of marriage and kids. He’s on track to start practicing the niche law he’s always wanted to, and his relationships with friends and family are perfect. Content with his current friend with benefits, Mecca isn’t looking for love when his ex, Shalom, is forced back into his life—and it’s a good thing, too, because they hate each other.

What was once a high school love that had the potential to last forever was ended with a letter, no contact, and heartbreak. They say there’s a thin line between love and hate. When Mecca’s biggest case to date requires Shalom’s expertise, will they be able to put their hate for each other aside, or will they learn just how thin that line can be?
