The Seven Dates We Never Had: A Best Friends to Lovers Romance
Seven practice dates. One impossible rule. Fourteen years of friendship. And a secret he has kept for seven of them.
Lena Brooks knows how to capture love through the lens of her camera. As a successful wedding photographer, she spends her days surrounded by perfect kisses, beautiful vows, and happily-ever-afters. She just isn't convinced any of it lasts.
Then she learns that her ex will be attending her younger sister's destination wedding with his new girlfriend.
Determined to prove-to herself more than anyone else-that she has finally moved on, Lena makes a plan: seven dates with seven different men before the wedding.
Her best friend, Theo Bennett, has a better idea.
Before Lena risks seven terrible dates with strangers, Theo offers to take her on seven practice dates and show her what a good date should actually feel like.
The rules are simple: the dates aren't real, their friendship always comes first, and absolutely no kissing.
But midnight pancakes turn into lingering looks. Dancing becomes dangerously intimate. A sunrise beneath one blanket feels far too romantic. And when an unexpected storm leaves them stranded with one hotel room and one bed, pretending becomes harder than either of them expected.
Lena thinks Theo is the safest person in her life.
What she doesn't know is that Theo stopped thinking of her as just his best friend seven years ago.
Hidden among his belongings is an old notebook filled with every little adventure Lena once said they should do "someday."
And buried inside is the one wish he has never been brave enough to complete:
Someday: Tell Lena I love her.
Now six practice dates have changed everything, one final date remains, and Lena is beginning to wonder whether the love she has been searching for was ever waiting somewhere else.
Maybe it has been beside her all along.
THE SEVEN DATES WE NEVER HAD is a heartfelt contemporary romance filled with best friends to lovers, he falls first, secret pining, a dating pact, slow-burn chemistry, forced proximity, one bed, unforgettable practice dates, found family, and a satisfying happily-ever-after.
Perfect for readers who love a hero who remembers the little things, a friendship worth risking everything for, and a romance that proves sometimes the best love stories begin long before the first kiss.
