Their pull is undeniable. Their timing couldn't be worse. And wanting each other might ruin everything. When sisters Abby and Grace Conrad suddenly find themselves orphaned, their world shrinks overnight. To keep them afloat, Grace's older boyfriend moves into the house to help. But steady, loyal, Joshua Stone has a secret. And shared walls resurrect old truths. Abby has spent years pretending her feelings for Josh were nothing more than an adolescent crush. Josh has spent just as long trying to bury how deeply he cares for the Conrad sister he was never supposed to want. As grief exposes everything they tried to hide, Abby must confront an impossible question: What do you do when the love you can't outrun comes with a betrayal you'd never survive? Set in pre-social-media Halifax, this coming-of-age love story explores the fragile edges of loss, desire, and the moments that shape who we become. "He gulped the remainder of another drink he'd ordered against better judgment. What was better judgment on a night like this? That ship had sailed hours ago. It's possible it sailed the day he first kissed an innocent girl in a quiet corner of her home, then proceeded to fall in love with her every day after."
