Hey, everyone! I’ve been hard at work on the polishing of Harper and Liam’s story, the 5th book in the You Series, and I wanted to share a little update with you all. Writing their second-chance romance has been an emotional rollercoaster, but I’m so excited about where their journey is headed.
In the latest scene I’ve been working on, Liam finally opens up to Harper about his biggest regret—something that’s been eating away at him for years. It’s been incredibly rewarding (and challenging!) to explore the vulnerability between them. Here’s a tiny snippet for you:
“Did you ever think about how I felt? How every time you pushed me away, it was like ripping my heart out? You were my best friend, my everything… And you just left. I would have been there for you.”
His eyes finally met mine, filled with regret and sorrow, so deep I couldn’t help but suck in a breath. “Yeah. I did.” His shoulders hung heavy as if the weight of the world rested on them, but it still wasn’t enough for me. The explanations he’d given me felt incomplete, like he was still holding something back. Why couldn’t he just be honest with me? Wasn’t that what this whole conversation was supposed to be about? Or maybe I just wanted there to be some big reason for it all, something to explain why. I guess I wanted it in black and white, and that was never going to happen.
I can’t wait to hear what you think! If you’re interested in even more sneak peeks and behind-the-scenes looks, be sure to sign up for my newsletter. You’ll get first access to all the news about Harper, Liam, and my upcoming projects!
