Almost Finally
She needed a date. He needed to stop loving her. Neither planned on falling for real.
Ava Friedman has a problem. Actually, several.
She's over forty, chronically single, and about to spend two weeks at a lavish destination wedding in Maui surrounded by family who won't stop asking why.
Her solution? A tiny, harmless lie: she tells her mother she's bringing a serious boyfriend.
There's just one catch-he doesn't exist.
Well... not exactly.
Jacob Dunn has been Ava's best friend for over twenty years. He's steady, loyal, and the one man who's always been there to pick up the pieces of her disastrous love life. Agreeing to play the role of her devoted boyfriend for a tropical getaway should be simple.
Except Jacob has been in love with Ava for just as long.
What starts as a pretend relationship quickly begins to feel dangerously real-shared glances, stolen touches, and a kiss that changes everything. But Ava has always chosen the wrong men... and Jacob has always been the safe one. The constant. The one she refuses to risk.
Because if they cross that line and it all falls apart, she won't just lose a boyfriend.
She'll lose her best friend.
In a place as beautiful as Maui, where truth has a way of surfacing, Ava must decide:
stay safe... or finally take a chance on the love that's been right in front of her all along.
A heartfelt, slow-burn friends-to-lovers romance about timing, risk, and the courage to choose forever-before it's too late.
