Almost Yours
Publisher Description
They almost chose each other. Now four years later they have one night to get it right.
A Short Second Chance Romance Novella
Abby Goodenough is good at keeping things moving.
As an executive assistant in New York's tech world, she anticipates problems before they surface and keeps other people's lives running on schedule.
What she does not do is linger on unanswered questions.
Until one ordinary workday interrupts her routine.
A brief elevator ride brings Abby face to face with Jake Ratcliff, the man who once helped her during a late-night project in college. The one she never quite stopped wanting.
The familiarity settles in before she can guard against it. The ease is still there, in his voice and in how quickly they fall back into conversation.
She tells herself it doesn't mean anything, the same way she has for years.
When Abby and Jake find themselves waiting together after hours during a building lockout, something she thought she had already let go begins to come back.
Working side by side feels instinctive, as if the rhythm they once shared never quite left. What they never said shows in the way they can't quite look away.
Almost Yours is a clean, slow-burn contemporary romance about timing, quiet proximity, and the courage to take the first step.
Perfect for readers who love emotionally intelligent romances where connection builds through presence, restraint, and choice.
Content Note: Clean, closed-door contemporary romance with no explicit sexual content and gentle faith-light themes.
