Inevitable Us

By Blake Howell

Best friends since childhood, Jude and Landon grew up side by side-sharing secrets, summers, and a bond that defied definition. But somewhere between designing Halloween costumes and chasing college dreams, their friendship began to blur into something deeper, something neither of them was ready to name.

Years later, they're partners in every sense: building a thriving luxury fashion brand, a spectacular life together, and a love that's weathered ambition, fame, and fear. When their designs skyrocket after a blockbuster film, the world takes notice, forcing them to balance unprecedented success with authenticity and each other.

The pressure is immense. The line between creative passion and personal identity intertwines, and Jude and Landon must decide how much of themselves they're willing to give to their empire-and what they absolutely refuse to lose.

Heartfelt, sexy, and laced with wit and nostalgia, Inevitable Us is a story of found family, creative ambition, and the quiet magic of realizing the person you've loved all along was standing right beside you.

Crossover Note: This is a complete, standalone story. However, it is related to my book Sandcastles, from the Strand Hotel Series series, and features a few crossover characters. This book answers the question: what happened to Jude and Landon after they went off to college together?
