The Vibe

Emma was kicked out by her wealthy grandmother at seventeen for getting pregnant. Now Genevieve London is dying and wants to reconnect — with conditions, of course. Two impossibly stubborn women, one teenager caught between them, and a family learning that love doesn't expire even when forgiveness feels impossible.
