love has ways of bringing things back to life

how two weeks in miami changed everything. *all characters in this story are over the age of 18*

A Tayvis AU Taylor is a 22-year-old aspiring singer working at a bar, a bar that just so happens to be right in the middle of one of the most dangerous mob leaders' territories. 28-year-old Travis is set to inherit his father's position as the head of the "family business". Travis has taken a liking to the blonde singer who seems to ignore every waring people have given her about avoiding him, the only problem is, Taylor has a boyfriend who just so happens to be in debt to him.

Fifteen years after a devastating prom-night accident tore them apart, Taylor returns to her hometown. She runs straight into Travis Kelce, the boy who once promised her forever. He's still the same. But she's not.

What if the story unfolded differently? What if Taylor and Travis met under different circumstances?

Taylor has had enough. There is only one arrow left in her quiver and that is called divorce. Even tho she has built her career and live around believing in love the only path forwards is to get rid of her good for nothing husband...one way or another. But she needs help. Travis used to believe in true love, tho that was before 15 years as an divorce attorney and a side job of helping women in need. He thought the only thing love was capable of was break and burn and end. But can his new client, a matchmaker change his mind and make him give love another chance?

After their complicated divorce Travis and Taylor have been trying to spnd as little time as possible together, avoid each other at family events and act "happy" for one another at their nieces' birthdays parties. That works out.. until one fateful call that changes everything.
