Choose Me Anyway

Advance Reader Copy

Blurb

What if the life you've always wanted meant letting go of the one you loved most?

She was off-limits.

He was unforgettable.

Falling for her brother's best friend was not part of the plan. Veronica’s dreams of traveling the world kept her far from their small home town in Texas. The man who should never have captured her heart wanted marriage and family… and home. Love was the easy part.

Choosing each other meant letting go of the future they'd always imagined.

Choose Me Anyway is a closed-door, emotionally charged romance about the kind of love that refuses to let go even when it hurts.

Told with heart, chemistry, and humor, this isn't your ordinary love story. It's the one that stays with you.
