In the second installment in the Bellinger Sisters books, we follow local Fox and younger sister to Piper, Hannah, in this friends-to-lovers rom-com. Fox is known for his irresistible charm and easygoing nature, but when he meets Hannah, he finds himself drawn to her in an unfamiliar way. After building a friendship through texts, Fox can't help but want more than just friendship with her. As Hannah crashes at Fox's place while in town for work, their platonic arrangement becomes increasingly difficult to maintain. Hannah gets to know Fox further and begins to see him in a new light. But with Fox's reputation as a ladies' man, Hannah is determined not to become another conquest. As they navigate their growing feelings for each other, Fox realizes he's fallen for Hannah completely. Convincing her to take a chance on him proves to be a challenge, especially when she's set on pursuing someone else. With Fox determined to win her over, he must confront his insecurities and show Hannah that he's ready for something real.
