Amara Davis, a fiercely independent boutique owner in Charlotte, NC, has always been about building her dreams on her own terms. But beneath her confident exterior lies a woman who has spent years suppressing her feelings for her childhood best friend, Zay Bennett, now a celebrated poet whose words have captivated the world.
When Zay returns to Charlotte after years of touring and fame, their reunion is both a balm and a spark. Old feelings resurface, and as they navigate the blurred lines between friendship and something deeper, Amara and Zay must confront their fears, insecurities, and past hurts.
Zay sees Amara as more than the girl next door-she's his muse, his anchor, and the one person who truly understands him. Amara struggles to believe she's worthy of his love, but Zay is determined to show her that she's always been the woman of his dreams.
Set against the vibrant backdrop of Charlotte's creative scene, When the Words Were Just Us is a tender, passionate journey of self-discovery, trust, and love. It's a story of two people finding their way back to each other and learning that sometimes, love is worth the risk.
