Book blurb:
Confronting
the past is never easy.
Cole Whitaker is happy. He has the job and boyfriend he always wanted. His heart’s in no danger of being broken, and he can’t ask for more from life. As a kindergarten teacher, he sees it all; however, one troublesome student has him reaching out to the parent, wanting to help. There’s something about Savanah that tugs at his heartstrings.
He never expected her father.
Zander Brooks hasn’t had an easy life, and he’s made some mistakes. Freshly retired from the military and working as a firefighter, Zander thought he’d left Cole in the rearview mirror. He’s not expecting him to appear in St. Petersburg, Florida, of all places, teaching his daughter’s kindergarten class. Suddenly, his biggest mistake is being shoved in his face.

Author Meg Harding’s take on
Accepting the Fall: “Not
everything is perfect, and it’s not always going to go right the first time
around. It’s not any less special because it was flawed.”
Praise for Accepting the Fall: “A character driven, second-chance
romance. Recommended for anyone craving a low-angst, tender, contemporary story
stuffed to the brim with feels and sweetness.” – Piper Vaughn
Teaser:
“I’ll handle this,”
he said. He fished around in the backpack he’d brought along and withdrew a
small pill bottle. “Ibuprofen. Take one.” He held it out.
Zander glared. There was a drop of
sweat beading at Cole’s temple and his hair—what could be seen of it poking
from the hat—was curling. Zander simultaneously wanted to see Cole looking
similarly hot and flushed while underneath him and to tell his upbeat ass to
fuck right off with his ibuprofen and sunny attitude.
Cole shook it, his lips twitching.
“On second thought, take two or three. Your eye’s started to twitch.” Whatever
restraint Cole had been using must have escaped him, and he let a smug smirk
takeover his stupidly handsome face.
Before common sense was able to get a
word in, Zander stepped forward. The animal instinct part of him had one goal
in mind: kiss the smirk till it went away. Their past didn’t matter in the
present. Cole was here and everything about him tugged on parts of Zander he
didn’t know what to do with. Only Cole had ever made Zander’s brain go blank
with need. Cole turned Zander into
the kind of person Zander didn’t know how to be, and much like in the past, it
was irresistible.
And terrifying.
Unlike his seventeen-year-old self,
the adult Zander did now—deep down—possess the tiniest inkling of self-control.
It was this iron will that enabled his common sense to kick in right as the
tips of his shoes brushed the tips of Cole’s. Cole’s hand, bottle covered by
his curled fingers, pressed against Zander’s diaphragm. Zander could feel the
jut of Cole’s knuckles through the thin fabric of his shirt. Cole’s eyes were
wide saucers, the blue almost entirely swallowed by the expanding black of his
pupils.
It was
the same look he’d given Zander on the bus.
Zander
sucked in a shaky breath and on legs that felt wooden, took several steps back.
He held his palm out and Cole let the bottle fall, landing dead center.
“Thanks,” said Zander, far too huskily.
