When she came back

𝐁𝐑𝐎𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑'𝐒 𝐁𝐄𝐒𝐓 𝐅𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐍𝐃

Book 1

When Emilia Walker returns home after a year in Paris, she expects familiar streets, familiar faces, and a chance to figure out who she's become.

What she doesn't expect is Noah Carter.

Her brother's best friend.

The football captain.

The boy who's been a constant in her life for as long as she can remember.

Noah has always been there-through heartbreak, loss, and every messy chapter in between. But this summer, something feels different. The looks linger longer. The silences say too much. And the line they've never crossed suddenly doesn't seem so impossible anymore.

There's just one problem.

Noah is her brothers best friend.

With her new found popularity after her year away and makeover.

She gains friends and a handsome distraction.

Ryan is kind, dependable, and everything she should want. Which only makes it worse when her thoughts keep drifting back to Noah.

As the summer heats up, old friendships blur into something far more dangerous, and the tension between them becomes impossible to ignore.

Because some people come into your life and leave.

And some people have been there all along.

Waiting for the wrong moment to become the right one.
