Coincidentally Kismet - Paperback

by Kelli Cooke (Author)

Ex-lovers are reunited through shared friendships in this heartwarming story about second chances, forgiveness, and learning it's never too late to start over.

Cameron Wright has had her life planned out since before she was tall enough to see over the steering wheel on her dad's tractor. Find a man, marry him, and pop out half a dozen babies. Never one to miss a step, her plan was foolproof, that is until her one true love decided to ditch their college plans to become what she would refer to as the next real-life Rambo. Setting off on a new adventure across the country, working for world-renowned hairstylist Daveed Jones, she's attempting to shake off the memories and finally let go of the past. You might as well start over when everything else has blown up in your face, right?

Committing fully to seizing the reins, Cam is hitting the dating scene, forcing herself to trade french fries for salads, and making memories concocting alter egos while spinning around the dance floor at the local country bar and soaking up the sunshine with her lovable roommate. There's only one problem. After each new date, she finds herself waking up overheated, fantasizing about her ex.

Will Davenport is determined not to feel feelings. He walked away from love to avoid repeating the mistakes of his father, swearing it off altogether. When his sister makes a sudden appearance on his doorstep, the more-than-content bachelor joins his friends for a night on the town. Little does he know, the shock of his life is coming in the form of the one girl who he's always claimed as his own. Will's no stranger to navigating sticky situations, he does it daily as a special operations soldier. But the road to winning her back is paved with obstacles, two stepping, and enough peonies to bankrupt the wealthiest of suitors.

Can Cameron resist his attempts at winning her over in favor of staying safely tucked into the friend zone? Or should she give in to fate, finally acknowledging they are coincidentally kismet?
