Lucy Chen and Tim Bradford have been dancing around each other for years-partners, friends, and secretly, something more. But life, timing, and Lucy's lingering relationship with Chris keep them apart. Exhausted, conflicted, and on the edge of change, Lucy struggles to figure out what she really wants, while Tim wrestles with his growing feelings and career ambitions.
One night, after years of restraint, everything shifts. Suddenly, the careful balance they've maintained feels impossible to keep. As emotions spill over, desire and love collide, and both must confront what they've been avoiding for so long.
Full of slow-burn tension, quiet confessions, and heartfelt moments, It Was Never Meant to Happen Like This is a story about timing, choices, and the unexpected ways life can push two people together-whether they're ready or not.
