A raw and emotional standalone novel in the interconnected "You" series by Elin Kind
"A gripping tale of heartbreak, healing, and the courage to trust again." -Reader Review
Lyssa:
I don't trust easily-not after my dad walked out on us. So when I'm paired with Cody for a project, falling for him is the last thing on my mind. He's steady, kind, and everything I've learned not to believe in. But just as I start to think maybe he's different, my past comes crashing back, reminding me why I've built these walls.
So, I do what I've always done-I run. Back home to the tiny coastal town that's always been my refuge. But the farther I go, the more I wonder if pushing Cody away was the biggest mistake of my life.
Cody:
After Josie broke my heart, I swore I'd never be that guy again-the one who cares too much and loses everything. I threw myself into work, determined to forget. Then Lyssa walks into my life, with her guarded heart and fierce independence. She's not looking for love, and neither am I-at least, that's what we keep telling ourselves.
But the more we push each other away, the harder it gets to deny the connection between us. And just when I think we might have a shot, Josie comes back, bringing with her all the doubts I thought I'd buried.
In this intense, slow-burn romance, Lyssa and Cody must overcome the ghosts of their pasts to build a future together-or risk losing the one person who could make them whole.
