Dating a man with a daughter was the easy part. Dealing with his ex, however, is not. Nicholas is everything you could ask for—kind, loyal, and an incredible father to Clementine. As your relationship grows, so does your bond with his little girl, and for the first time, it feels like you’re becoming part of a family. But the happier the three of you become, the more Nicholas’s ex starts inserting herself into your lives. Every phone call becomes an emergency, every school event turns into a competition, and every favor becomes another excuse to keep Nicholas close. He never gives you a reason to doubt him… but how long can your relationship survive when someone from his past refuses to accept she’s no longer his future?
