Always You is a second-chance romance about Rachel Wallace and Derrick McHale-former best friends whose lives drifted apart after high school. Ten years later, they reunite in their small hometown, just days before their high school reunion. Rachel is reeling from a broken engagement. Derrick is back from Vegas, where he's built a life and a successful restaurant far from the ghosts of home. 

As old feelings resurface and unresolved heartbreak comes to light, they must confront the choices that pulled them apart-and the quiet, steady love that never truly left. Bittersweet, heartfelt, and deeply nostalgic, Always You is a love letter to missed chances, hometown roots, and the one person who always felt like home.


Snippet:

'I wanted her laughter in my mornings. Her quiet in my nights. I wanted the version of me that only existed when she was around.

And I hated how much I wanted it.

Because I couldn't tell her. I couldn't even let myself think it too loud.'All Rights Reserved

As years pass, the line between hate and love begins to fade. Zarielle starts to see the boy who once got on her nerves in a new light, while ZaKari realizes the reason he's always been protective of her - because deep down, it's always been her.
