All Mum's The Word Books can be read as Standalones.

Malee and Mateo are inevitable. They have been fused together by unlucky circumstances. While Malee is always a hopeless romantic, Mateo knocks them back to reality. A desperate love story, pulling them through adulthood. When two people are meant to be, they fight like hell to discover themselves before it is too late.

I loved how deeply wounded we were for so many different reasons. We were connected by fragile adolescence. A love is pure. So aggressive it was futile it was going to destroy us or bring us bliss.

The thing about first loves is it takes years to get over them. They are your first taste of something explicit and you want to experience that high over and over again. It's hard to move on, even after five years. Malee and Mateo have come so far since they were teenage parents bickering their nights away. This story is of epic history, a love defying all odds and regulations on second chances.

Within this story, a new world of acceptance and change begins.

Because I don't care if our stars are aligned, or if fate gives it approval. You are mine and I don't think we should ever forget it.
