Before (Reynolds)

Newly divorced with a young son to raise, Tucker Beckett is the last man Miranda Owens should be itching to figure out, make smile, and hear laugh. Still there is something about the detective with haunted blue eyes and a dirty mouth that draws her in from the moment they meet. If only life were so simple. As Tucker and Miranda begin to navigate their new relationship, Tucker is tasked with solving the murder of a young woman while their exes begin to play games in an attempt to split the two of them up. Before they fall, these two will need to figure out if the only thing tying them together is the circumstances that brought them together in the first place or if it's something more.

Miles Thatcher and I would not have gotten together if my life had gone according to plan. Recently single with her whole life up in the air, Emma Abate knows that getting into any kind of relationship is a bad idea. Especially when the man she finds herself drawn to is Miles Thatcher, a single father and a man that seems determined to break down every barricade she places between them. Could this be real? Miles doesn't do complicated. But it's difficult to remember all the reasons why Emma is supposed to be off limits when she begins to fill a void in his and his daughter’s life-a void that he never realized was there, until her. Before this ends, will Miles and Emma realize they have something worth fighting for? Or will his job as a detective, the murder of two young women, and Emma's past get the best of them before they ever get the chance? Life is never simple, and neither is love.

Dayton Calloway and I wouldn't have gotten together if it weren't for two pink lines. After getting divorced, Francisca Dawson is attempting to find out who she is and how she wants her life to look. One thing she knows is that there isn't room for a man in that equation. But then she meets Dayton Calloway. A man who is charming, funny, and unbelievably gorgeous. Unable to deny their connection, she gets lost in the moment and gives in to his dirty mouth and skilled hands. Actions have consequences. Dayton knew that he never wanted to get married or have children. His upbringing before he entered foster care showed him that. So he took all precautions to make sure that wasn't a possibility. But like they say, nothing is ever one hundred percent. Now, he's picturing life as a father and coming to terms with the possibility of having everything he never knew he wanted with a woman who is not only taking up space in his life, but also that empty space in his chest. Before you go, do you take a chance and risk it all, or do you just let go and possibly miss out on the most beautiful love you've ever known? That's what Dayton and Francisca will have to figure out. Love is only as messy as you make it.
