Arima (Haruki Arima Duet, #2)
by Laine Watson
Haru. Money. Kid. Fiancé.Never thought I'd have any of them.Six years ago, a careless mistake ended up giving me the greatest gift of all—my son. For Max, I abandoned my reckless, dark ways and embraced adulthood, fully intent on getting a promotion and securing a life for both of us.I thought that's all I needed until Summer came into our lives and showed me what I was missing. Apparently everything, because I can't imagine my life without her.Summer's come a long way from the vulnerable, naive, misguided girl I first met, but her mother doesn't see that. Hell-bent on ruining the happiest moment of her daughter's life, she takes every opportunity to diminish my girl's strength, cutting her down with vicious words and cruel actions.I wonder what it's really about. Is she just a vindictive woman or is there something deeper here?
