It's Always Been Her

Camille Kelly swore she'd never come back.

Not after the betrayal.
Not after the kiss that changed everything-then meant nothing.
Not after Sloane Bennett chose silence over her.

But ten years later, Camille returns to the sleepy coastal town she fled from, forced home by her father's illness and the ghosts she tried to outrun. She expects awkward reunions and small-town whispers-not the sudden, jarring collision with the one woman she's spent a decade trying to forget.

Sloane is still heartbreakingly beautiful. Still magnetic. Still the only person who ever truly saw her. But now she wears a ring from a man she doesn't love, smiles like she's fine, and pretends her heart didn't shatter the night Camille left.

When old wounds rip open and long-buried truths claw their way to the surface, Camille and Sloane find themselves trapped in a storm of unresolved passion, bitter resentment, and secrets that could destroy them both.

Because loving each other was never the problem.
It was everything-and everyone-that stood in the way.

"It's Always Been Her" is a fiery, soul-stirring tale of forbidden love, buried betrayal, and the kind of connection that refuses to die-even when the world demands it.
