Olivia Parker never imagined she'd fall for the quiet, mysterious guy from Poland who was only supposed to be a temporary addition to the office. Andrzej Szymański, a charming transfer employee with piercing grey-green eyes, quickly becomes the subject of Olivia's daydreams. But with only a year to go before he returns to his home country, Olivia is caught in a game of unspoken feelings, pretending not to notice the undeniable chemistry between them.
As they navigate awkward office interactions, playful teasing from her best friend Miles, and the subtle pull of attraction, both Olivia and Andrzej keep their true feelings hidden, unwilling to be the first to take the leap. But time is running out, and with every passing day, the stakes get higher. Will they leave their relationship in the realm of "what-ifs" or face the truth before it's too late?
The Year We Almost Had is a heartfelt, slow-burn romance about love, timing, and the courage to risk it all when everything feels uncertain. Will Olivia and Andrzej find a way to make their complicated relationship work, or will the distance between them grow too wide to bridge before it's time for him to leave?
Perfect for fans of sweet, will-they-won't-they romance with a dash of office drama, this story will keep you turning the pages until the very last moment.
