Why we’re excited
Soli has just ended a relationship and wants nobody depending on her. Then her runaway teenage nephew turns up, her flat floods, and her landlord Ethan, a single dad still recovering from an accident, invites both of them to stay with him and his daughter.
Bastone is the author of No Matter What and Promise Me Sunshine. This is book four in her Hearts of New York series, though the setup centres a new couple and should work for first-time readers. Pick it for found family as much as romance.

From the publisher
A woman who has sworn off children suddenly finds herself taking care of her nephew and living in close quarters with her single-dad landlord in this new moving, hopeful slow-burn romance from bestselling author of Promise Me Sunshine and No Matter What.
Soli is finally free! (Or so she thinks). After breaking up with her clingy boyfriend, Soli is determined to remain single and dependent-less…when who shows up on her doorstep but her runaway teenaged nephew looking to hunker down in New York City while he figures out who he is. Which wouldn't be such a big deal if her apartment didn't flood that night
causing the two of them to suddenly need a new place to live.
Her landlord, Ethan, feels terrible, and is desperate for her not to move out; he has enough to juggle as a single dad and business owner, recovering from an accident that left him scarred, without adding “find a new trustworthy tenant” to the list. He offers her a Soli and her nephew can move in with Ethan and his daughter, Miriam, while he renovates her apartment, as long as she promises she’ll stay.
Soli’s never been one to want to put down roots, preferring to follow her heart and her heart only, free of the expectations of others. But little does she know that despite her domestic antipathies, she is everything Ethan never dared to hope he’d find.
