Murphy
Everyone around me had found their forever… everyone except me. I wanted the world for my best friends, but that didn’t stop the flicker of jealousy that came with being the only one still searching.
When my oldest friend ends up at the same event I’m attending and forgets she hates me, everything changes. After a decade of distance, one night with her guard down is all it takes to know she’s everything I’ve ever been looking for. Maybe she always has been.
But our past is complicated, and she was justified in harboring her feelings for so long.
Despite our history, whatever’s reignited between us is too powerful to let go of without a fight.
Although she has a laundry list of objections, I’m determined to prove that we make sense together, no matter the cost.
Juliette
While moving from one casual fling to the next, I was owning who I was, keeping my circle tight, thriving in my career, and enjoying every ounce that life had to offer.
That carefree woman didn’t come without scars, though. When the one person I had trusted most broke me, indifference became my armor and confidence my crutch. For the first five years, I hated Murphy Gannon, and for the subsequent five, he wasn’t worth my thoughts.
After I release the grudge I’ve carried for too long, one unexpected reunion is all it takes to remember every dangerously familiar reason I’d ever loved him all those years ago.
But my hurts run deep, and I’m not sure I could ever open my heart to anyone again. Especially not to the man who destroyed me. No matter how tempting he may be.
