DESCRIPTiON

𝐎𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐡𝐚𝐝 𝐢𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐥. 𝐍𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐢𝐭 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤.

Finn Brennen, swim team star, and Anne Drecher, the wallflower who tutored him. Their study time sparked an unlikely friendship that might have blossomed into something more had college and careers not separated them.

When life brought them back to their hometown, their friendship turned into a love so breathtakingly deep that they couldn’t imagine life without the other.

But their happiness was short-lived. Torn apart once more—this time by horrible timing and a cruel twist of fate—for more than a decade, they are forced to hide their past.

Their hearts devastated by a love neither could forget, Anne built a life away from it all while Finn strove to give his son a stable home. But every family gathering brought them into the same room and served as a torturous reminder of what-ifs and could-have-beens.

Now Finn is divorced and ready to fight for what his heart has always wanted and needed. Anne tries to resist but yearns for the love she thought she’d lost forever.
