But fate had other plans for them, and they couldn't escape it. A series of unexpected events unraveled their secrets, forcing them to question everything they thought they knew about each other. Suddenly, the lines got blurry, and with every touch, they hated each other a little bit less...

When a total stranger knows what eats you, maybe they are your one true love. Even if you don't know it yet. || On Friday the 13th, two twenty-something, Daya and Mike, end up in a mutually beneficial arrangement: she is his caregiver after he breaks his foot; he provides room&board to help her out with a teeny-tiny cash flow problem.

With the two already teetering on the brink of mutually assured destruction, oil splashes onto the flames when Daya resumes her never-ending quest for skating triumph at Canadian Nationals.

After years of burying herself in medical school, Josie Saltzman is finally ready-or at least being forced by her sister and best friend-to reenter the dating world. One glass of wine and a spontaneous app profile later, Josie's swiping through awkward bios, cute faces, and strangers who want everything she's not sure she can give. Then comes a familiar name. A face she hasn't seen in years. Hope Mikaelson. The girl who was once her best friend. Her first love. Her heartbreak. As Josie navigates first dates, late-night chats, and her own doubts, she begins to uncover the truth she's tried to forget: Sometimes love doesn't fade. It just waits. But Hope carries a past she's never shared-one that could tear them apart all over again. And when the final letter is read, Josie will have to decide: Is love worth the risk of breaking twice? A slow-burn second-chance romance about grief, growth, and the girl who never really left.
