She came to Chicago to rebuild a landmark. She never expected to rebuild a love affair.

Ava Mitchell doesn’t believe in second chances. Not after the man she once planned to marry chose his family’s expectations over their future together.

Eight years later, she’s successful, independent, and determined to keep her heart safely out of reach.

Then she walks into the most important meeting of her career and comes face-to-face with Grayson Cole.

Older. Wealthier. Devastatingly attractive.

And still capable of making her forget every promise she’s made to herself.

Grayson never expected Ava to return to his life. Now a successful developer and devoted single father, he’s spent years burying old regrets beneath work and responsibility.

But Ava’s return threatens the carefully ordered world he’s built.

Forced to collaborate on a prestigious Chicago renovation, they find themselves working late nights, sharing heated disagreements, and fighting an attraction that refuses to stay in the past.

Every lingering glance is dangerous. Every accidental touch brings back memories neither can forget.

And every day together makes their professional arrangement a little more personal.

They know exactly how badly love can hurt. The question is whether they’re brave enough to risk everything for it again.

Wanting Him Was Easy delivers passionate chemistry, complicated emotions, a strong heroine, and a second-chance romance worth falling for.
