Not by Chance

Harper Ray knows what it’s like when your whole life goes wrong, split into “before” and “after.” One tragic event in her not-so-distant past has made her live differently than she planned, make questionable choices, and handle disappointment not in the best way. One day the girl meets Michael—the new neighbor who, as she thinks, has disliked her at first sight. Michael lives with a little girl who can’t be his daughter, and he frowns every time Harper sees him. This wasn’t love at first sight. And it wasn’t friendship at first sight either—but something about this guy has struck her, forcing her to take her mind off her own grief. But maybe Michael isn’t as simple as he seems. And maybe he’s hiding something from her?
