Dreaming Without Heartache - by Amanda Owens (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Allie Tatum's life takes an unexpected turn when her only sister and brother-in-law are involved in a fatal car crash. With a broken heart, she's thrust into parenthood with full custody of her two nieces, Kara and Maisie. Being a parent was never in the plans for Allie. It wasn't supposed to be her. She's a fun aunt, not the strict parent, but she's trying her best and failing.

Sam Carter is a bright light in Allie's dark world. Being a mom to Kara's best friend, she's become a shoulder to lean on. Their relationship grows as they both find solace in each other's company as well as an unavoidable attraction.

Just when everything seems to be going well, that's when you can expect the chaos. Kara's rebellion has taken a dangerous turn causing turmoil for all involved. And Allie's newest confidant, Sam, is creating confusion about their newfound romantic path.

Life hasn't always been easy for Allie, but it feels downright unfair lately. How can she turn it around when none of the pieces to the puzzle fit?
