All In

Meredith Hunt has built a comfortable life on her own terms. She runs a Pilates studio that she owns, spends time each week helping at the local high school, and has just purchased a home. Self-reliance comes naturally to her, but accepting help from others does not. After a mugging, a stranger steps in to protect her, and she finds herself unsure how to thank him or how to stop noticing his eyes.

Ace Vance relocated to Bridgeport with his fifteen-year-old son, Finn, hoping to give the boy a fresh start. Finn now has a shot at football with a strong program and a possible college scholarship. Ace has taken work at a respected shop where he restores vintage automobiles. A new town also offers both of them room to breathe, away from Finn's mother. Falling for someone is the last thing on Ace's list, yet he cannot turn away a striking redhead who needs a hand.

When a thief throws Meredith and Ace together, their attraction becomes impossible to ignore. Both must decide whether they are ready to open their hearts and make space in their lives for someone new. The book is the latest in the Bridgeport Social Club series, which follows how a community can rally behind its members, whether over a poker game, in a Pilates studio, or elsewhere. Its characters may feel adrift, but they keep looking ahead.
