Elise Miller never planned on missing her flight. But when a layover in Paris turns into an unexpected detour involving dusty bookshelves, a way too charming stranger, and the kind of conversation that makes your heart race but plans start to fall apart.
Christian Archer was supposed to be a temporary distraction. Her friend's older brother. Quiet. Intense. A man who doesn't believe in relationships because he's seen too many fall apart. But something about Elise disarms him and before either of them can admit what's happening, he vanishes without a word.
Eight months later, Elise has picked up the pieces. Sort of. With her final year of college, an internship, and a best friend who won't let her wallow, she's starting to feel like herself again. She's even warming up to someone new...until Christian crashes back into her life at the worst possible time.
Now, nothing feels simple.
He says he was protecting her.
She says he ran away.
And in the middle of all the jealousy, misunderstandings, emotional walls, and late-night confessions - there's still something between them neither of them can explain or escape.
One missed flight. Two brothers. A second chance no one expected.
Sometimes, the hardest person to forgive... is the one who never really left your heart.
