A slow-burn, second-chance romance set in a small town full of secrets, heartbreak, and the one boy she never forgot.
Francesca Connors left her hometown with a suitcase full of heartbreak and a one-way ticket to New York, desperate to outrun the boy she couldn't have and the sister who took him.
Now she's back. For the wedding.
For her sister.
And the groom? Jake-the same boy Francesca shared her first kiss with, the one she never stopped loving, even when he stopped choosing her.
Pretending to be fine would've been easier if Beckett Hale, her old best friend with stormy eyes and grease-stained hands, hadn't offered to fake-date her through it all. It was meant to be harmless. A lie to survive the next couple of weeks. But with every stolen glance, every almost-touch, and every whispered memory... Francesca starts to wonder if Beckett's the one she was always meant to love.
Torn between the past and the boy who always stayed, Francesca must decide: is love something you fight for, or something you finally let go?
Perfect for fans of grumpy x sunshine, fake dating, forbidden love, and messy sibling dynamics-I Missed You, Always is a heart-wrenching, small-town romance that will leave you aching for one more chapter.
