You Were Always the One

By Debbie Howells

Book Overview

He's the one she walked away from. She's the one he never forgot...

Eighteen years ago, Holly broke up with the love of her life, Riggs, so she could become the 'grown-up' she felt ready to be. Then Miles came into her life, with the promise of everything they could be together. And for a long time, their home and family felt like enough.

But now Miles has betrayed Holly, and she finds herself questioning everything she thought she knew about love, marriage and happiness.

And then she bumps into a stranger on the street. Except it's not a stranger. It's Riggs. And one look at him is enough to tell her - she never stopped loving him. But is it enough for her to contemplate leaving the life she's built, even if it no longer makes her happy?

Determined to be honest with herself and with Miles, Holly starts thinking about a very different future. But then Miles makes an announcement that changes everything...
