Everything After (The Element of Everything Romances)

By Jade Black

She moved to Fujiyako for a fresh start. She got one.

And a complication she didn't see coming.

Leiliana Collins didn't do this the easy way. She packed up her life, took the dream job at Spherestone she'd worked herself half to death for, and moved to a new city - with a three-month-old, a tight budget, and the kind of bone-deep determination that doesn't leave room for second-guessing. She built something real. She did it alone.

She just didn't plan on him.

Kanakami Mishada. Head of Sales at the exact company she just joined. The man she spent one incandescent Halloween weekend with - and then never saw again. She has her reasons for keeping her distance. She has her reasons for a lot of things.

But fate, apparently, has a brutal sense of humor.

Now they're in the same building, working the same accounts, while office gossip churns and a saboteur in the design division has Leiliana squarely in his crosshairs. Kanakami - raised to expect coldness, groomed to guard everything - is doing something he's never done before: staying. Showing up. Trying to understand why she keeps her worlds so carefully separate.

He has questions. She has answers she's not sure she's ready to give.

Everything After is for the reader who wants her slow burn to actually burn. Who wants forced proximity that feels earned, spice with real emotional stakes, and a love story that ends not with a certain kind of choice that means everything.
