Wyatt Westfall is the tatted bad boy next door—her brother’s best friend and the 6’5” Viking who can turn any room into a party. Cora Beckett is the artist with big talent, bigger dreams, and a habit of running straight toward trouble.
One kiss ignites something neither of them can bury.
But when the fallout sends her chasing a fresh start in New York and him drowning in the mistakes he swore he’d never repeat, distance becomes its own kind of storm.
Can the playboy next door actually clean up his act and win over the girl he was never supposed to touch?
Told in dual timeline, dual POV, this is a second chance, friends-to-lovers romance about timing, desire, and the one person you can't outrun—even if you try.
Some people are worth waiting for. Some love stories take years to write. And some resolutions are anything but simple.
