In the second installment of USA Today bestselling author Olivia Dade’s Harlot’s Bay series a
mistaken obituary leads to the reunion of two former high school crushes. Sparks fly in this
hilarious grumpy grumpy romance packed with Dade’s signature body positivity and a delicious
amount of spice. Karl and Molly were never together. There was a time right after high school
where it seemed like they might finally cross the line from friends to lovers…but instead a
foolish misunderstanding meant they never spoke again. Molly went to LA and got married. Karl
stayed in Harlot’s Bay and bought a bakery. The only connection the pair has shared over the
years is painfully one-sided: Now divorced Molly narrates monster romance audiobooks and Karl
is an ever-diligent listener clinging to his only piece of the one that got away. Still Molly
hasn’t totally left Harlot’s Bay behind. When she hears that Karl’s obituary has run in the
local paper unexpected grief prompts her to hop on the next flight to Maryland…where she finds
Karl very much alive the victim of nothing but an accidental obituary. As the pair reunite
they finally hash out their missed connection. True Molly isn’t quite ready to trust again
but Karl is determined to prove himself worthy of her faith and devotion. And as her remaining
time in Harlot’s Bay ticks down Molly the habitual cynic just might find that Karl the
cranky town curmudgeon is impossible to leave behind a second time.
