The Forever Factor

Bethany Cahill has spent eleven years protecting herself from a repeat of her first heartbreak. Reid Thatcher, once her fellow cheerleader and the girl she loved, is the reason romance now feels like an unnecessary risk. An ordinary encounter while shopping abruptly puts Reid back in her path, along with feelings Bethany would rather leave alone. Reid remembers their connection differently and has never understood why forgiveness remained impossible. Seeing Bethany again gives her a chance to ask the questions that have lingered between them. Yet reopening their history means confronting more than nostalgia or unfinished attraction. Before they can imagine a different future, both women must understand what happened the first time and whether trust can survive the truth.
