Jordan
I met the love of my life when we were fourteen.
One conversation was all it took to lock me in the friend zone—for eight long years.
I watched her fall in love with other people.
Watched her build a future that didn’t include me.
And I waited.
Now she’s back, broken and running, and I’m done pretending I only want her friendship. She’s always been mine—whether she knew it or not—and this time, I’m not letting her walk away.
I didn’t wait eight years just to lose her now.
Mackenzie
The life I spent eight years building collapsed overnight—leaving me heartbroken, unemployed, and without a place to land.
So I ran.
A new city. A fresh start. Distance from everything that hurts.
What I didn’t expect was him.
My first love. My best friend. The boy who always knew me better than anyone else. He becomes my refuge, my steady ground while I piece myself back together—but he isn’t offering friendship anymore.
He wants forever.
The problem? His forever might already include someone else—and I don’t know if my heart can survive losing him twice.
If you love slow‑burn longing, best‑friends‑to‑lovers tension, and a hero who’s waited half his life for his girl, this is one you won’t want to miss. Grab your copy and fall in love with Jordan and Mackenzie’s story today.
