**Ava Maxwell thought she had it all figured out.** The perfect best-friend-turned-boyfriend, a loving family with deep roots in a picture-perfect small town, and dreams big enough to light up the stars. But when Kyle breaks her heart with a "we mistook it for love" speech and her father is suddenly arrested for abuse of power, Ava's carefully constructed world begins to collapse. With her pride wounded and their finances shaken, Ava takes a job at a café, hides her heartbreak behind jokes and lattes, and tries to keep her younger brother from selling her to the neighbor for toys.

**Noah Miller doesn't have time for distractions.** At 24, he's a police officer carrying the weight of a father's scandalous legacy, a family that looks to him for stability, and a personal code that leaves little room for chaos. But when a girl with defiant eyes and a stubborn streak the size of the county shows up in his path-literally-he finds himself drawn into her orbit more than he ever planned.

**In a town where everyone knows your story before you tell it, Ava and Noah are two people learning how to write their own endings.** But love isn't easy when betrayal is still fresh, family secrets are buried deep, and some people just refuse to let go.

Chloe Marlow thought she had buried the past for good, the man she once loved, the choices that shattered them, and the truth she swore never to speak aloud. Vienna was supposed to be a fresh start. A quiet life. A safe one. But the past doesn't stay buried forever. Especially not when it wears a tailored suit and walks back into your world like it never left. Liam Ashford was never just a mistake. He was everything, brilliant, ruthless, and dangerously unforgettable. She left without explanation. Now, he's not the same man she remembers. Colder. Sharper. And looking for answers he doesn't even know he's missing. As proximity forces them into uneasy orbit, old chemistry resurfaces with a vengeance, and so do the secrets Chloe has fought to keep buried. But the truth has a heartbeat of its own. And when it finally breaks through, no one will walk away unscathed. Now face to face one last time, the question remains, can they rewrite their ending, or are some betrayals too deep to ever come back from? This Is Their Final Crossroads Fate doesn't offer infinite chances. This is it, their last shot at healing what's been broken... or watching it shatter once and for all.

They were childhood best friends. Then life pulled them apart. High school brought them back together. And love? It found them somewhere in between. Ava Carter never expected to see Noah Reynolds again-the boy who was once her world before her family moved away. Now back as the quiet, new girl in high school, Ava is trying to keep her head down and survive. But fate has other plans. Noah, once her partner in crime and now the most popular guy in school, is no longer the boy she remembers... or is he? When their paths cross again, memories come flooding back, and so do the feelings they never got to explore. As their bond deepens, love blossoms in whispered conversations, shy hallway glances, prom dances, and sneaky late-night talks. Together with their close-knit group of friends-Emma, Zane, and Zoe-they navigate the chaos of high school, college, growing up, and finding their forever. But life isn't always fair. Love doesn't promise to stay. Years pass, memories blur, and fate delivers an unexpected twist that will test everything they believed in. From innocent friendship to soul-deep love, this is the story of Ava and Noah. Of laughter, loss, homecomings, and promises whispered across time. IT'S ALWAYS BEEN YOU (forever )
