Sometimes forever starts with the last person you want. Darci Griffin has sworn off romance—and the cocky new neighbor who catches her in the world’s most humiliating moment. She’s a children’s librarian with a fortress around her heart, an expert at dodging feelings and first dates. Alex Dixon is all sharp edges and bottled-up grief, a widower who lost everything and decided wanting nothing was safer.

On a reckless impulse, he says the one word that changes everything: “Hi.” What starts as a mix-up turns into three stolen days that feel like a lifetime—laughs that land in the same rhythm, kisses that taste like firsts and forevers, and a pull neither of them can explain.
