Forever Then

We were almost forever...GretchenIt's been three years since the kiss. The one I can't seem to forget.Judging by the girl on his arm, Connor Vining has no such problem.I guess I misunderstood the look in his eyes that night.I guess his best friend's kid sister was never really in the running for Love of His Life.But I'm not a kid anymore. I've graduated college and I'm about to fly interstate, in hopes of meeting my birth mother.I was never going to face her alone, but when a twist of fate puts Connor by my side, I'm blindsided. And our tangled past is threatening to come undone...ConnorI'm not sure whose heart is more broken: Gretchen's or mine. All I know is it took everything in me to walk away from that kiss. I kept a promise, and I lost a friend.And I think I made a mistake.The problem is, now is not the right time to break down the walls Gretchen built to keep me out.But now is the only time we've got.Forever Then is a childhood friends-to-lovers, brother's best friend, forced proximity, second chance adult romance.
