Can't Let Her Go

Peaches Monroe and Jamie Hunt belong to the same close Texas friend group, with careers and ambitions that give them much in common. Their attraction raises the possibility of changing a relationship both already value. Timing is less cooperative. Jamie is considering college opportunities that could take her away from Austin, while Peaches hopes to expand her business and is carrying family responsibilities after her mother’s death. A shared future cannot be built simply by admitting desire. Each woman needs room to understand what she wants from her own life before promising it to someone else. This friends-to-lovers romance follows the pressure that work, grief and competing plans can place on a connection that initially seems full of possibility.
