Don't Say Yes: A Short & Swift Novella

By L Willow Grace

Some detours last ten years.

Lila Rose James didn't expect much from her ten-year high school reunion - maybe one good drink, maybe a graceful exit. What she didn't expect was Theo Bennett, still wearing the same easy smile, still saving her a seat without being asked, still the only person in any room who could make her forget she'd spent a decade pretending she was over him.

One night turns into a confession. A confession turns into something real. But real things require showing up - and showing up has never been easy for either of them.

Don't Say Yes is a slow-burn second-chance romance about the person who was always there, the decade it took to say so, and the terrifying, exhilarating choice to stop letting fear write the ending.

For anyone who has ever loved someone for ten years before finally saying so.
