Almost Us

The "Unfinished" Series
Book 1

Some love stories were never meant to be simple.

Ten years ago, April Larsson was the light in Jacob Barker's dark, restless world-the girl who made him feel everything he couldn't put into words. But beneath her radiant smile were secrets she refused to share, walls he couldn't break through. He wanted her, needed her, but he never understood the storm she was caught in-or the pain she carried when she left town without a goodbye.

Now, April is back. Different. Stronger. Guarded.

Jacob has built a life without her-on the surface, at least. As the youngest sheriff in his town's history, he's a man of control and order. But beneath the badge, he's a mess of old memories, unresolved feelings, and the aching weight of what could have been.

When April and Jacob cross paths again, the spark between them is as dangerous as ever. But she's not the girl he remembers, and he's not the boy she left behind. Their connection is raw, complicated, and tangled in the ghosts of their past-ghosts that refuse to stay buried.

As secrets unravel and old wounds resurface, Jacob and April are forced to confront the truth:
Sometimes, love isn't enough to save you.

But sometimes, it's the only thing that can.
