Benjamin has had a rough start to adulthood. He married his high school sweetheart knowing full well that her life expectancy was short. But he gave her what he could in the time she lived. Now he's home, starting over in a new job as a rollercoaster engineer at the local amusement park, but connecting with his past. 

Abigail is sick of trying to make things happen for herself. She's stretched thin between three different jobs and always seems to be just short of making her break in theater. Known for her talents behind the curtain, she craves the main stage. Will her luck change this year when an unexpected opportunity presents itself? Or will she have to decide whether to forego yet another chance to stay with the man who has captured her heart?

Buckle in for a wild ride!

"We met earlier, kind of," he smiled at her. "I'm Jake." "H-hi!" How had she missed him before? He was delightful. Dark blond hair, slate grey eyes . . . and oh my goodness, that smile!!! To be fair, back in the bar, all of their faces had been merging together, but now she was a bit more with it, she could see this guy was pretty much perfection. What a shame she was getting married . . . No, wait, she wasn't. But he thought she was. And yet here he was, apparently interested. Time to see how this one played out . . . ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Charlotte Tyler has a theory - when it comes to girls, all guys want what they can't have. The fact her colleague Aaron flirted with her constantly while she was in a relationship and lost interest the second she was single has in no way disproved this theory. And so her best friend Thea comes up with a way to test this further - if Charlie stages her own hen night, will she manage to hook an unsuspecting guy? Despite being technically off-the-market? It seems like a crazy idea. But the plan, surprisingly, is a resounding success, and Charlie actually meets and starts to fall for someone as a result. But with an imaginary fiance and an upcoming fictional wedding to juggle, her lies are starting to spin out of control. Is this what she really wants?

And there she was, in the flesh. Her hair still dyed blonde, but curly again like when I saw her for the first time. She looked tired, cynical. Bored. And a little sad. I recognised these emotions instantly as it was the same way I'd been feeling for too long now. However, she was also still utterly beautiful and completely perfect, and the love I'd always harboured for her rushed back like a burst dam. Let's face it, it had never really went away. The dam may as well have even held back by some dubious duct tape. It had been leaking for years. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ He pretty much fell in love at first sight when he was 14 years old. 20 years later he's having to face the girl he fell for again . . . And he's not really coping well with it. You hopefully already know how it ends . . . But here's the chance to see Ryan's version of events. ❤️ ~~~~~~~~~~~~ ***This novella is Ryan's side of the main relationship in "No Reservations". It therefore serves as a companion to the main book and would be best enjoyed as dessert after you've binged on the main. 😉***
