Book Description
What happens in Vegas…stays with you. A steamy, small-town, single-dad romance full of humor, heat, and so much heart from USA Today bestselling author Willow Aster.
By morning, she was gone, the ghost of her perfume on the pillow, and a feeling I couldn't shake for months.
Imogen was supposed to be a story I'd never tell anyone. Especially not Grayson, my son.
Because Imogen was the one thing Grayson wanted—a woman in our life. Someone to fill the void his mom had left, and someone to make his dad happy.
I told myself it was for the best—that Grayson needed a father who kept his heart exactly where it with him.
My life in Windy Harbor has been quiet. Until a caravan of cameras, assistants, and matching luggage rolls into town, and I find out the woman who vanished on me in Vegas isn't just unforgettable—she's Imogen Edwards, the London influencer with a zillion followers and a life I can't begin to understand.
Suddenly my carefully guarded existence isn't mine anymore. And the woman I never stopped thinking about is standing on my porch, entourage in tow, asking more of me than I can deliver.
She knows exactly what happened between us that night—a truth I never told a single soul, one that's about to turn everything I thought I wanted upside down.
Now and Forever is book five in the interconnected, standalone Windy Harbor series.

My Thoughts
Now and Forever by Willow Aster—brought to life through a brilliant, deeply expressive duet performance by Zara Hampton-Brown and Connor Crais—is a heartwarming, emotional, and delightfully steamy small-town, single-dad romance that serves as a captivating fifth installment in the Windy Harbor series.
The story follows Grayson, a devoted single father living a quiet, carefully guarded life in Windy Harbor after being left to raise his young son alone. While traveling to Las Vegas for his sister Goldie's wedding, Grayson expects a quick family trip, not an unforgettable encounter with an enchanting stranger possessing a British accent and a captivating laugh. Following a night of intense connection, she vanishes by morning, leaving behind only the ghost of her perfume and an indelible mark on his heart. Grayson tries to convince himself to move on for the sake of his son, who desperately wishes for a loving mother figure in his life and happiness for his dad. However, Grayson’s quiet world is turned completely upside down when a caravan of cameras, assistants, and luggage rolls into his small town, revealing that the mystery woman who vanished in Vegas is Imogen Edwards, a wildly famous London influencer with millions of followers.
Standing on his porch with an entourage in tow, Imogen brings a fast-paced, high-profile lifestyle that contrasts sharply with Grayson’s calm, small-town existence. Yet, beneath the glamour and publicity lies the undeniable, lingering spark from their night together and a shared truth that forces Grayson to reevaluate everything he thought he wanted for his family's future. Aster masterfully blends humor, high-heat passion, and deep emotional resonance, capturing the warmth of the tight-knit Windy Harbor family dynamics while guiding Grayson and Imogen through the vulnerabilities of blending two vastly different worlds.
Zara Hampton-Brown and Connor Crais elevate the audiobook with exceptional vocal chemistry and nuanced performances. Hampton-Brown perfectly conveys Imogen’s charm, lively wit, and underlying sweetness, while Crais delivers Grayson with his signature deep, grounded warmth, perfectly capturing his protective single-dad instincts and swoon-worthy devotion. Heartwarming, funny, and deeply touching, Now and Forever is a beautiful addition to the series that will leave readers completely charmed.
