The Feelings We Can't Hide

By Veronika Dean

Maya thought she had left her past-and him-behind. Focused on her final year of school and chasing a career in New York, she's determined to prove she can build a future on her own terms. The last thing she needs is Ryan, her ex's best friend, reappearing in her life.

Ryan has his own reasons for keeping his distance. Once Cole's closest friend, he's caught in the wreckage of a friendship turned sour. Getting close to Maya risks reopening old wounds-and making enemies of the people he used to call family. But when fate keeps throwing them together, the line between protecting himself and protecting her starts to blur.

As old wounds resurface and unspoken truths threaten to unravel everything, Maya and Ryan must decide:

Will they keep hiding behind the past?

Or take the risk-and face what's between them?

The Feelings We Can't Hide is an emotional, slow-burn, standalone contemporary romance about second chances, finding your voice, and choosing yourself... even when love makes it complicated.
