Then she meets Conor.

Their slow burn romance turns into something steamy, heartfelt, and impossible to ignore.
Suddenly Devon is ready to commit. But Betsy’s done waiting. Because she’s finally found the kind of protective, swoony hero romance she deserves—the kind where she’s chosen first.
A steamy, emotional friends with benefits romance with all the angst, jealous ex drama, and swoony new boyfriend energy readers crave—The Back-Up Plan is a must-read for anyone who loves second chance twists, slow burn romance with spice, and heroines who finally choose themselves.
