Just This Once: They Promised It Wouldn't Mean Anything

By JASMINE MORLEY

Just This OnceThey promised it wouldn't mean anything Some love stories begin with certainty.The dangerous ones begin with rules.
Elowen Hartley has built her life on carefully planned days, guarded emotions, and a promise never to fall for something she can't manage. Love, she's learned, is easiest when it's
distant... or temporary.

Calder Rhys doesn't believe in staying long enough to lose himself again. A photographer who sees everything but says very little, he's mastered the art of leaving before attachment can take
root.

When their lives collide in an unexpected moment, they agree on one thing: no expectations, no future, no promises. Just this once. But comfort has a way of turning into longing. Silence starts to carry weight. And the rules meant to protect them begin to blur as feelings grow harder to deny.

As fear threatens to pull them apart and old wounds resurface, Elowen and Calder must decide whether love is something that simply happens or something you choose, even when it scares you.
Just This Once is a deeply emotional contemporary romance about guarded hearts, quiet intimacy, and the courage it takes to stay when walking away feels safer.
