The Best Thing
Mariana Zapata
She gave up on him — then he came back. Mariana Zapata's signature slow burn second chance romance.
Description
Some things are easily forgiven. Other things… not so much. Lenny DeMaio made herself a promise: she was done. Done thinking about him. Done worrying about him. Done reaching out to a man who clearly didn’t want to be found. Too bad no one gave Jonah Collins the memo.
