Finding Jess

Sam Hayes thought she'd moved on.

It's been eight years since Jess crashed into her life before slipping away, and four years since they tore each other apart for good. Now Sam's within reach of her ultimate goal: selling her software company and proving herself in the tech industry. All she needs to do is integrate her software with a new financial firm, lock in the deal, and walk away with everything she's worked for.

But on day one, everything unravels. The person overseeing the project is her childhood best friend—someone she hasn't seen since her mother's death. A living reminder of the life she barely managed to escape. And to twist the knife even deeper, that best friend just happens to be Jess's current girlfriend.

Determined to stick it out, Sam forces herself to focus—until she's dragged back into Jess' orbit when they're both caught up in the whirlwind of their mutual friend, Scarlett's, wedding. Between dress fittings, late-night parties, and quiet moments that linger too long, Sam and Jess find themselves colliding once again, forced to confront the broken pieces of their past.

Now, with everything she's worked toward at risk, Sam must face what she's truly willing to sacrifice—and whether a future with Jess is something she can hold onto, or something she's bound to lose all over again.

This time, for good.
