When all signs point to heartbreak, can love still be a rule of the road? A “touching father-daughter story” (Kirkus Reviews) from the author of Bittersweet and Twenty Boy Summer. Jude has learned a lot from her older sisters, but the most important thing is this: The Vargas brothers are notorious heartbreakers. She’s seen the tears and disasters that dating a Vargas boy can cause, and she swore an oath—with candles and a contract and everything—to never have anything to do with one. Now Jude is the only sister still living at home, and she’s spending the summer helping her ailing father restore his vintage motorcycle—which means hiring a mechanic to help out. Is it Jude’s fault he happens to be cute? And surprisingly sweet? And a Vargas? Jude tells herself it’s strictly bike business with Emilio. Her sisters will never find out, and Jude can spot those flirty little Vargas tricks a mile away—no way would she fall for them. But Jude’s defenses are crumbling, and if history is destined to repeat itself, she’s speeding toward some serious heartbreak…unless her sisters were wrong? Jude may have taken an oath, but she’s beginning to think that when it comes to love, some promises might be worth breaking.

Have you ever asked, “I wish I knew then what I know now?” Sure you have—we all have. On the eve of my oldest daughter’s graduation from high school, I wanted to provide her that knowledge so she might not have to learn the hard way. We all learn lessons the hard way, but wouldn’t you rather not have to? Even though I’ve touted these things her whole life and much of my life, never have they all been in one place. I admit I stand for every single one of these and believe wholeheartedly in every single one of these, but I also admit I don’t always do these all the time. It’s not that I’m hypocritical; it’s just that I am human and need to try harder. My prayer is for my oldest daughter to continue to put these foundational nuggets of wisdom into practice, learn what works for her, and add more to her list.
