Then I Met You

Emmelyn Devee Brookes believed love was not for her, she never understood it or felt it.

She wasn't the girl who got love letters slipped into her locker. She wasn't the one asked to slow dance at school events. Love, in all its messy, heart-stopping beauty, was something she had only ever read about-never something she thought she'd live.
Then everything changed when she met Kasen Hayes.
With him love wasn't a dream or a fantasy it was real - he saw her when no one else did, he was the boy who taught her to fall in love and to fall hard with no way to stop it.
But love is never as simple as the stories make it seem. Mistakes were made. Trust was shattered. And just when she thought they were unbreakable, everything fell apart in a second.
Now, Kasen is determined to fix what he broke spending every moment to fix it.
Emmelyn has every reason to walk away but she does not know if she wants to.
Is love worth the risk? Can she learn to trust again?
Or will she always be the girl who almost had it all?
Because the truth is, love was never a fairytale. It's raw, imperfect, and terrifying. But maybe, just maybe, it's worth fighting for.
Because love isn't just about the moments that take your breath away. Sometimes, it's about who is still standing beside you when everything else falls apart.

A heart-wrenching, breathtaking romance about first love, second chances, and finding your way back when all seems lost.
