When a chance encounter becomes everything you never knew you needed-until it's gone. Emma Hartley doesn't do relationships. Between eighty-hour weeks during audit peak season and the walls she's built around her heart since her parents' divorce, there's simply no room. But when she approaches a stranger at a Hampstead café and asks, "Excuse me, is anyone sitting here?"-everything changes. Andrew Sinclair-a London architect with kind demeanor and an infuriating ability to notice everything-slips past her defenses one morning breakfast at a time. What begins as sharing a table evolves into something neither of them planned for: stolen lunches between meetings, late-night texts when work keeps them apart, and the terrifying vulnerability of letting someone in. From teaching her to ride a bike in the park to an impossible reunion at an Outward Bound program in the Lake District, their love story unfolds in the spaces between their demanding careers-messy, honest, and achingly real. Their love isn't about perfection-it's about showing up, again and again, even when it's hard. That family doesn't have to mean hurt and disappointment. That she's worth fighting for. Two years of building something beautiful. Two years of learning what it means to be loved unconditionally. Two years that will be tested in ways Emma never imagined. Because some love stories don't end the way you expect them to. Some promises are harder to keep than others. And sometimes, the greatest act of love is learning to let go. A contemporary romance that will break your heart and piece it back together-about finding love when you least expect it, and discovering that the deepest connections can transcend even the impossible.
