Waiting For Ever

Two fresh starts. Three years apart. One collision course at Blue Lake.

Moving on sometimes means facing what you ran from. Can they face it together? Or will it tear them apart?

Falsely accused and relentlessly bullied, 18-year-old Everly vanishes into the quiet town of Blue Lake to escape the wreckage of her past. But when she collides with a guarded 21-year-old drowning in guilt over his first love's tragic death, their scars intertwine in ways neither expects. She's never known love-he doesn't believe he deserves it. Their connection is undeniable, their chemistry electric, but neither is ready for what it means to let someone in. Just as they start to heal, the past Everly tried to escape resurfaces-and this time, it wants to finish what it started.

A slow-burn, emotional romance about grief, redemption, and the power of unexpected love. Perfect for fans of small town settings, broken-but-healing characters, undeniable attraction, green flags and forced proximity.
