She's got it all. At least, she did until her Fiance-slash-high school sweetheart confessed he no longer wanted her.
Most girls know some form of heartbreak before they graduate high school, Briella Bailey isn't most girls. She's had everything she's ever needed, friends, a loving fiancé, a home to go home to, a job she's finally comfortable with, and a life she adores. That is until her fiancé tells her he's been seeing someone else. Confused and heartbroken, she visits a bar. For a woman who's never been inside a bar, it's out of character for her. But she meets The bartender there who offers a listening ear, and then he takes her to his house. But, having her beneath him isn't what he's thinking about. Instead, he offers her time away from her house and drives her back to her car the next day.
He starts mentioning faith and Briella has no idea what he's talking about.
Briella has never needed faith in her life. Things seemed to fall into place for her. But, this perfect stranger mentions it and it's all she can think about. He's all she can think about. It should be wrong but it doesn't feel wrong.

It Wasn't Love ✔️
"Fuck." He whispers into my neck, sending a thrill of excitement through my body. His lips still smothered kisses over my neck and his hands roamed my body, starting at my chest, going down to my stomach. Caressing my soft skin, his thumb trailed circles on my groin before slightly slipping into the waistband of my jeans. My breath catches in my throat as I pull at the hoodie that covered his chiselled body. Understanding, Jacob pulls it off in one swift movement before attaching his lips back on my neck. Sucking and biting it before flicking his tongue over the sore spot. A quiet moan leaves my mouth and I clasp my hand over it, denying any noise to escape.

London offers her nothing but silence and strangers and that's exactly what she needs until it starts to offer more. A job at a luxury PR firm, a flat that slowly becomes a home, a local café with warm coffee and warmer smiles, a neighbour with a cat named Rufus and a shopkeeper named Robert, gruff, loyal, quietly becoming the father figure she never had. But nothing shakes her more than the two men who begin to orbit her new life. Skylar, the charming café owner with kind eyes, he makes her laugh again, makes her feel again, but when it matters most... he stays silent. And Sebastian, the enigmatic CEO with ice-blue eyes and power in every breath.

Now Bella must navigate more than just a second chance, she must decide what kind of love she's ready for and whether she can open her heart again without losing herself in the process.
