Helen Zhang hasn’t seen Grant Shepard once in the thirteen years since the tragic accident that bound their lives together forever.
Now a bestselling author, Helen pours everything into her career. She’s even scored a coveted spot in the writers’ room of the TV adaptation of her popular young adult novels, and if she can hide her imposter syndrome and overcome her writer’s block, surely the rest of her life will fall into place too. LA is the fresh start she needs. After all, no one knows her there. Except…
Grant has done everything in his power to move on from the past, including building a life across the country. And while the panic attacks have never quite gone away, he’s well liked around town as a screenwriter, known for his sharp comedic banter. He knows he shouldn’t have taken the job on Helen’s show, but it will open doors to developing his own projects that he just can’t pass up.
Grant’s exactly as Helen remembers him—charming, funny, popular, and lovable in ways that she’s never been. And Helen’s exactly as Grant remembers too—brilliant, beautiful, closed off. But this workplace romance is messy, and electrifying, and Helen’s parents, who have never forgiven Grant, have no idea he’s in the picture at all.
When secrets come to light, they must reckon with the fact that theirs was never meant to be any kind of love story. And yet… in this angsty and emotional slow burn second chance romance, the key to making peace with their past—and themselves—might just lie in holding on to each other in the present.

This starts out pretty heavy, but its so interesting how two different people live with a devastating thing they experienced in two very different perspectives when they were the same age but their lives where just beginning. These two MCs appear as enemies because of this terrible thing that happened when they were younger and they never really got over, but as the story goes on and more heartbreak is revealed theres a beautiful bond that comes from the loss of their youth. Last words can be so crushing… 😢 There’s a lot of books I read where I’m like man, therapy would be very helpful in this one… they are talking about it… but is anyone going?? The FMCs parents, ugh they were so... maybe cold is not the right word, they obviously care, but the way they show it is very disconnected and I feel like this might be written as a cultural thing and it broke my heart even more as the story went, but like all good books there is a happy ending in sight for this one too. What a fantastic debut novel ❤️ *"You dont have to be completely healed to have the things you want."* 🌶️ 3.5/5 Oooo, this was saucy! The slow sizzle of forgiveness gradually melts into the heat, creating a rich and deeply satisfying blend of emotion and passion. 📚 Reading Between the Vines: 📚 Click Here to Join a Fun Discord Book Club
