FOOL ME ONCE : A SIMMERING, SIZZLING SECOND-CHANCE ROMCOM FROM TIKTOK SENSATION ASHLEY WINSTEAD

A simmering slow burn bursting with banter This is a romance for anyone whos ever felt too messy to be loved. ROSIE DANAN, author of The RoommateIn this fierce and funny battle of the exes, Ashley Winsteads Fool Me Once explores the chaos of wanting something you used to have. Lee Stone is a twenty-first-century woman: she kicks butt at her job as a communications director at a women-run electric car company (thats better than Tesla, thank you), and after work she is Stoner, drinking guys under the table and never letting any of them get too comfortable in her bed... Thats because Lees learned one big lesson: never trust love. Four major heartbreaks set her straight, particularly grad-school boyfriend Ben Laderman who wasnt actually cheating, but she could have sworn he was, so she reciprocated in kind. Then Ben shows up five years later as a policy expert for the Texas governor, just as Lee is trying to get a clean-energy bill rolling. Tension builds as old sparks reignite when theyre forced to work together, fanning the flames for a romantic dustup the size of Texas.
