Philia Players - Book 3

Blurb:

Lark Hughes is the kind, sweet, and outgoing veterinarian who owns Toute la Famille, a non-profit veterinary clinic on the outskirts of Philadelphia. It's a typical night for Lark, working a late shift at the clinic, when one of the players from the Divine Flyers soccer team arrives with his golden retriever rescue, Pickles.

He clearly takes them both by surprise when he asks her out. He's attractive and kind and makes her insides feel like they're melting. So why does she say no?

Unfortunately for Lark, the answer isn't a simple one. The fact that her father owns The Divine Flyers is a blip on her radar compared to the real issue.

Her crappy boyfriend, Tyler.

Gianni Amato-De Laurentiis is a shy, thoughtful, and compassionate soccer player with several hidden talents. But he's just never felt quite right. He's had a long battle with depression, and when his best friend, Alex Casillas, passes away in a motor vehicle accident, his whole world is turned on its axis.

It was already hard enough for Gianni to make it through life with Alex. How is he supposed to continue without him?

Once Lark makes it out from under the roof of her cheating ex and into the arms of Gianni– who's more than happy to do the things her ex never would– is it possible that she could help him too?

They each share their battles: Lark with her type 1 diabetes and Gianni with his depression. Through unlikely friendships, therapy, tons of paint, just about every musical instrument under the sun, and, of course, Gloria De Laurentiis's "Always Smutty in Philadelphia" book club, can Gianni and Lark find their way to the happy ever after they deserve?
