All we Kept: Beyond the Quiet of Us
Two best friends. Two decades of hidden lives. Confessions that could destroy it all.
Brianna and James have a friendship built to last a lifetime. For twenty years, James has been Brianna's rock, standing by her side through the highest highs and the lowest lows. He was there when she married Warren, there for the birth of her daughter, and the first to catch her when Warren tragically passed away. To the world, they are just fiercely loyal best friends.
But behind their supportive smiles lies a painful truth. James has been secretly, deeply in love with Brianna for two decades.
And Brianna is keeping a secret of her own about the truth.
For twenty years, she buried her quiet longing for James, choosing instead to honor her vows and build a beautiful, lasting love with her late husband, Warren. Now that she is facing a future as a widow, the old feelings she locked away are beginning to surface. But stepping out of the friend zone isn't simple. Brianna is guarding a devastating secret-one that traces back sixteen years and has the power to shatter James's entire world if it ever comes to light.
Brianna isn't the only one hiding who she really is. To cope with his own unrequited feelings, James has spent years immersed in a high-stakes, intense bachelor lifestyle. He has built a private world full of dark secrets and a forbidden lifestyle that Brianna can't even begin to imagine.
As their hidden truths finally collide, the foundation of their twenty-year friendship begins to crumble. They both want a future together, but James must face his own demons, and Brianna must brave the wreckage of her past, before they can finally claim the love they've denied themselves for a lifetime.
Can a love built on twenty years of lies survive the wreckage of the truth?
If you love intense, mutually unrequited love stories, deep emotional angst, and reformed bachelor romance, this gripping page-turner will keep you reading late into the night.
