❝ Sometimes the hardest part isn't falling in love again. It's believing you deserve to. ❞ Years after heartbreak, Callie Hart thought she'd finally moved on. But when she returns home for her best friend's wedding, one unexpected encounter changes everything. Lucas Maddox is older now, steadier, and still impossible to read. What was supposed to be a quick reunion turns into something much more complicated when he offers her a job and becomes her boss. Between late nights at the office, confessions, and the kind of chemistry neither of them can ignore, Callie begins to wonder if she's ready to trust again. They've both been burned before, but maybe love isn't about starting over. Maybe it's about finally showing up. © Jess Murrell | 2025 | Wattpad
