Finally, Us: A Heartfelt Small-Town Friends-to-Lovers Romance

By Eric K

We were never just friends. Not really.

Emma Collins thought she knew how her life would go. Work at the diner, keep her head down, and hold on to the one thing that's always been steady - her best friend, Noah Parker. He's been there since childhood: the boy who dared her to dream, the one who knew her secrets, the man she swore she could never lose.

But small-town life has a way of testing unspoken promises. And when Noah returns after years of chasing construction jobs across the state, the feelings Emma buried long ago resurface - stronger, deeper, impossible to ignore.

Noah has always seen Emma as more than a friend. He just never found the right moment to tell her. Now that he's back, he isn't willing to let another chance slip away. But confessing his heart might risk the one bond that means everything - their friendship.

Between late-night talks by the lake, quiet breakfasts at the diner, and the possibility of building a future in the very town they once dreamed of leaving, Emma and Noah must decide: is risking it all worth finally becoming us?

Full of small-town charm, heartfelt longing, and the slow-burn romance readers crave, Finally, Us is a tender friends-to-lovers story about finding home in the person who's been by your side all along.

Perfect for fans of Abby Jimenez, Emily Henry, and Nicholas Sparks.
