"This isn't the story of how they fell in love.
It's the story of how she tried to breathe after him."
Beverly Clark, twenty-five, thought she had everything: a wedding just weeks away and the man she had loved since she was a teenager by her side.
Darren Whitmore wasn't just her first love-he was her only love. Once a star quarterback, now a young football coach, Darren was her certainty, her forever.
Until that night, when an accident ripped her heart away.
Crushed by grief and unable to stay in her hometown of Everett, Beverly runs to Paris-the city she was supposed to discover on her honeymoon with Darren, the dream she will never live.
There she meets Jamie Dawson, a twenty-seven-year-old singer-songwriter who seems to sing straight into her soul. When she looks at him, Beverly sees Darren as the boy he once was. When she kisses him, she still feels Darren's lips.
Between burning memories and a passion that overwhelms her, Beverly is torn between a love that will never die and one that might save her.
But can there really be a life after him?
Or will she always remain a prisoner of the shadow of her only love?

💔 I wrote this story for those who have loved so deeply they felt broken. Because sometimes, after a "forever," all that's left is the courage to keep breathing.
