Four Summers Ago
Abby Steele believes in love-on the page, not in real life.
As a romance novelist, she's built a career writing sweeping love stories while keeping her own heart carefully guarded. So when her best friend insists on one last blind date, Abby expects nothing more than an awkward evening and a quick escape.
She doesn't expect Ben Richards.
Ben is Hollywood's newest it-guy, fresh off a viral blockbuster and surrounded by attention everywhere he goes. But beneath the fame is someone unexpectedly grounded, funny, and genuine. Their first date turns into laughter, late nights, and a connection Abby never planned on making-especially when she learns Ben is a devoted fan of her work.
They spend the summer falling in love and avoiding the one conversation that matters most: what happens when it ends.
When Ben leaves for a press tour, Abby assumes distance will dull the ache. Instead, he disappears entirely-leaving her heart broken and unanswered questions in his wake.
Two years later, Abby's novel is being adapted for film. And Ben is the director.
Determined not to repeat the past, Abby sets strict rules to protect herself: keep it professional, keep her emotions in check, and never let Ben close again. But the chemistry they once shared hasn't faded, and the truth they never faced is impossible to ignore.
As old feelings resurface, Abby must decide whether guarding her heart is worth losing a love that once felt like everything-or if some stories deserve a second chance.
A closed-door adult romance about heartbreak, unfinished love, and the risk of opening your heart twice to the same person.
