Let’s Call a Truce: A Novel.

A heartfelt contemporary romance about healing, unexpected love, and discovering that second chances can arrive when they’re least expected.

Juliana Ryan never imagined she’d be rebuilding her life alone. After the sudden loss of her husband, she’s left raising two heartbroken children while trying to restart a career she put on hold to care for her family. Determined to prove herself in the workplace, she quickly discovers that earning respect is harder than she expected.

Things go from difficult to infuriating when she overhears her confident—and undeniably handsome—coworker, Ben Thomas, questioning whether she’s capable of handling the job while balancing motherhood. Hurt by his assumptions, Juliana vows to prove him wrong, and a fierce workplace rivalry is born.

Two years later, their competitive relationship is stronger than ever, fueled by sharp exchanges, stubborn pride, and a chemistry neither of them is willing to acknowledge. When a high-profile project forces them to work side by side, maintaining their long-running feud becomes increasingly impossible.

As professional collaboration gives way to genuine understanding, Juliana begins to see a different side of Ben—one marked by patience, kindness, and unwavering support. Their heated disagreements gradually evolve into undeniable attraction, and the line between rivals and partners begins to blur.

But just as Juliana starts believing she can love again, unresolved chapters from Ben’s past threaten everything they’ve built together. Faced with difficult choices, she must decide whether trusting her heart is worth the risk of being hurt again.

Filled with emotional depth, witty banter, workplace tension, and irresistible slow-burn romance, Let’s Call a Truce is a moving story about resilience, family, forgiveness, and finding hope after heartbreak.
