Almost wasn't enough

By lina b

Two men. Two worlds. One choice that was never as simple as it seemed.

Zariah Bennett is used to almosts.

Almost a nurse. Almost satisfied. Almost in a relationship with Nana-the man who knows exactly how to pull her close, but never quite chooses her.

A girls' trip to Ghana is supposed to be a reset. A chance to step away from work, school, complicated relationships, and the life she keeps telling herself is good enough.

Then she meets Kwame Mensah.

Kwame is thoughtful, intentional, and certain in a way Nana has never been. In the heat and color of Accra, Zariah finds herself swept into a romance that feels completely different from anything she left behind. Before she has time to decide whether she's being brave or reckless, a vacation changes the course of her life.

But going home doesn't mean leaving the past behind.

Distance tests her new marriage. Nana is still familiar, tempting, and unfinished. And as Zariah tries to build a future across continents while resisting the pull of what she already knows, the two lives she has worked so hard to keep separate begin moving dangerously close together.

Love was supposed to make the choice clear.

But when desire, loyalty, and buried secrets collide, almost may be the one thing Zariah can no longer afford.
