Right Where You Left Me: A Brother's Best Friend Forced Proximity Romance - Paperback

by Holly Caste (Author)

2004 was the year of MySpace, digital cameras, and pop punk-and the year Ivy met her brother's best friend, Paxton.

What started as innocent teenage longing turned into years of near-misses, lingering glances, and what-ifs. One night, a kiss tipped everything over the edge, leading to a passionate lapse of judgment and a fallout that ended in heartache and silence.

Now in their thirties, Ivy and Paxton find themselves reunited in the most unexpected way: standing side by side in her brother's wedding party.

For Paxton, life has taken a turn. Early retirement from the NHL and a devastating family health crisis have left him searching for solid ground. Seeing Ivy again sparks something familiar-comfort, longing, and the one thing he thought he lost: hope.

But Ivy isn't the girl he left behind. Fiercely independent and guarded, she's not ready to hand over her heart to the man who once broke it.

Can they rewrite their story and find healing in the wreckage of the past? Or are some second chances meant to stay in the rearview?
