It was Always You

An unbreakable friendship. A brutal secret. A love born from heartbreak.

Marnie

Sebastian’s always been Marnie's knight in shining armor, but their love is far from a fairytale. Especially because Sebastian doesn’t know how badly Marnie wants to dance with him. But when she decides to dance with someone else, soon she finds herself on the shoals of the worst night of her life and Marnie knows there’s only one man who can save her…

Are these two destined to endure this storm together? Or will the secrets they keep destroy them both in more ways than one?

Sebastian

All Sebastian has ever wanted is Marnie for as long as he can remember, but destroying their friendship out of selfishness isn’t a risk he’s willing to take. But when that selfishness becomes the reason Marnie finds herself in a terrible situation, the only thing Sebastian can do is spend the rest of his life trying to atone for what happened…even if it means confessing the truth.

Can Marnie find it in her heart to forgive Sebastian for what he’s done? Or will their love break before it’s even begun?

A childhood bond. An all encompassing love. An immovable man.

Joy

When Joy was twelve, she knew she loved Finn. He’s perfect. He’s her best friend. There’s no one else she could ever imagine building her life with— a life full of love and beautiful things. Including children.

But Joy’s world is soon shattered when Finn tells her he doesn’t want the same thing…he doesn’t want a family. After all these years, is this what will finally divide them? Or will fate find a way for Joy and Finn to prevail once more?

Finn

Loving Joy has never been a question for Finn. The hurdles and obstacles to happily ever after with Joy, however…that’s a different story. Finn has always wanted to give Joy everything she wants and deserves, since he was twelve years old. Until she asks for the one thing he can’t give her…children.

Finn knows his feelings for Joy won’t change, and neither will his feelings about having kids. Will Joy and Finn move past this hurdle? Or will Finn lose more than just his heart?

A desperate woman. An inheritance. A secret love.

Diane

After locking away her heart so many years ago in an act of self-preservation, Diane must find a way to meet her family’s demands. Even if it means marrying her childhood best friend.

Devlin

After years of trying to rebuild his life, Devlin Connor finds himself at a crossroads when his former best friend shows up after ten years. With the stipulation Diane must wed to claim her inheritance, Devlin offers to help the only way he can…by marrying his former best friend. After all, platonic marriages happen all the time.

But as wedding bells ring, Devlin starts to realize there may be more than just bonds of friendship between him and Diane...

Can they put their past behind them? Or will the love they’ve fought against for so long finally come to light?
