Shadow-Dragon02
At eighteen, Rosalie Bennett thought she knew exactly how her life would unfold.
It was supposed to include Julian Mercer. Her first love. Her best friend. The boy who called her Roo and made forever feel possible.
Then life cracked open.
A mother falling ill. A goodbye said in grief. A love story ended too suddenly to survive it.
Ten years later, Rosalie returns to her hometown carrying her seven-month-old daughter and plans to leave again in three weeks for medical school in Edinburgh, Scotland. She only comes back for one reason: to bury Jamie Cole-their closest friend, and the one person who always believed she and Julian would find their way back to each other.
But Julian is no longer hers to lose.
He's engaged to Madeleine Sinclair, and with the wedding only a few weeks away, Jamie's death leaves the entire ceremony unfinished. When Rosalie offers to help a kind stranger overwhelmed by grief and planning, she never expected it to be as difficult as it was, being around the man she never truly forgot.
Now Rosalie must spend three weeks choosing cakes, songs, flowers, and vows for a wedding that should have been hers.
As old feelings rise and long-buried truths come to light, Rosalie and Julian are forced to face the question neither of them has ever escaped:
Was their love simply wrong for its time-
or are some people meant to find each other in every version of life?
