Dr. Emerson "Emmie" Matthews has devoted herself to the children's hospital where she works endless shifts as a resident. Her husband, Dr. Caleb Matthews, is the sports medicine physician every pro athlete in New York trusts to keep them on the court. Somewhere between late nights, missed calls, and pride too heavy to set down, the couple once called unbreakable has drifted into silence.

No one knows they're divorcing. To their families, they're still the perfect pair. Which becomes a problem when Caleb's younger brother and Emmie's cousin announce their lavish wedding week in the Hamptons-expecting Caleb and Emmie to attend as the picture of love.

Forced into proximity, they agree to fake it. Smile for photos. Hold hands at dinners. Sleep in the same bed. But old feelings surface in stolen glances, shared laughter, and memories that refuse to fade. Pretending to be in love feels dangerously real-reminding them of the vows they once made and the promises that still linger unspoken.

As secrets, pride, and longing collide, Caleb and Emmie must decide if their marriage is truly over...or if love, once lost, can be chosen again.

A moving second-chance romance, Always Be the One is about the lies we tell, the truths we bury, and the courage it takes to fight for forever.

Temperance and Caleb have been best friends for the last 2 years- since they started college together. They're inseperable, so it's only natural for him to offer her the guest room in his dad's house, after her dorm flooded. Caleb's father, James, hasn't been home for the past 3 years, due to work, so it's just Temperance and Caleb in the house, until James finally comes back. Temperance could recognise this man anywhere, even if she hadn't given him a lap dance a few nights ago. He has no idea who she is, but has a feeling he knows her. When he finds out who she is, though, he gets the same feeling he had that night- that he's known her forever. He wants her. He needs her. Βut he can't utter his feelings; not when she's his son's closest friend in years and over 20 years younger than him. She's drawn to him in a way she hasn't to anyone before- of course not, she's only 20 years old- but she knows better than to go after him. Caleb still experiences the aftermath of his parent's divorce, so James getting seriously involved with a woman would throe him off balance, especially if it's his best friend. They are at an impass. What will prevail? Logic or feelings?
