Twelve years ago, he drove away with my heart in his hands.
I've moved on since then.
Or so I thought.

Growing up in a small town, there weren't too many options when it came to friends. But, even in a sea of a million, I'd always choose Jake Jameson. 

I felt safe with him. Safe with my secrets, my dreams and eventually - my heart. I thought we'd have forever together.

That was a long time ago. 

I thought I'd forgotten those piercing blue eyes and the sound of his laugh. I tried to obliterate the memory of his touch from my mind.

But, one single glance, as he stands at my door, twelve years later, and I'm suddenly transported back to a simpler time when love was easy, and my heart was whole.

The problem? 

I'm marrying his best friend.

Joshua Carter happend. Him and his stupid, panty-dropping, dimply smile. Not to forget that smooth mouth of his that led the two of us to a night we're both trying to forget and ignore for the sake of our ten-year long friendship. Only, I can't. And apparently, he can't either. Because he came back for more. Only difference this time is that I'm done waiting for him to finally wake up and realize what's right in front of him. I'm moving on. What I hadn't anticipated was for him to be the one fighting for us this time. ♡︎ ♥︎ -This is the second book in the All Ours series. It CAN be read as a stand-alone but you'd understand the characters and storyline a lot better if you read Ours To Be first!-

Josh and Katie have been best friends since he first moved nextdoor midway through freshman year. They were attached to the hip and acted like they've known each other for years. Josh Parker was the all American boy who all the girls wanted, including Katie. As Katie and Josh's friendship blossomed she quickly formed a crush on Josh, but as the years progressed, her crush turned into love. Five years after leaving Miami brokenhearted after finding out about Josh's engagement to his childhood sweetheart. Katie unexpectedly reunites with her former best friend, and Josh quickly realizes that his feelings for her are not just platonic anymore. * As I'm walking out of work I get a call from my brother to pick my niece up from school. For the past 4 years that little girl has had me wrapped around her finger and I wouldn't have it any other way. Unfortunately I got stuck in traffic on the way over so I'm late for pick up. Once I get to Melanie's classroom I fill out the sign out sheet that's on the wall and make my way into the classroom. I faintly hear Melanie laughing so I know she's not upset from me being late. "Hey I'm so sorry. I got stuck in traff..." I said stopping mid sentence, stunned at the woman in front of me. Standing in front of me is someone I considered one of the most important people to me back in highschool. As soon as I looked into those Caribbean blue that I used to know so well, I knew it was her. It takes her a few seconds to realize who I am. She stands there stunned. We continue to stare at each other until she breaks the silence. "Josh?" She asks not believing it's actually me. "Hey Katie girl."
