EDEN
I thought the days of protecting my heart with mindless flings were over. Zach promised me a future I never dared to hope for: a soulmate, and a family who truly wants me.
But after I moved in, Zach checked out. He’s distant, always at the office, and has never whispered the ‘I love you’ I desperately need to hear. He treats me like an afterthought. I’m nothing but the last tick box on his five-year plan.
But I didn’t become Sydney’s hottest hairstylist by settling for second best. Six months later, no ring, and Zach’s former hookup causing drama? I’m done.
ZACH
I’ve sacrificed everything to be more than the nerd from the wrong side of the tracks. Surviving ten years in the city’s most cutthroat law firm didn’t just make me a good lawyer; I’m the best. Love? That has never been a priority with partnership on the line…until Eden.
I know I’ve neglected our relationship. I convinced myself Eden would wait. But when I return home to an empty apartment, reality finally hits me—I’ve lost the woman more precious than any promotion.
Half-hearted apologies and flowers won’t be enough to prove I deserve a second chance. Choosing Eden means risking everything I’ve ever worked for.

LOLA
After fleeing the relationship that almost destroyed me, I arrive in the small town of Richmond, Tasmania, with nothing but a suitcase and the hope of starting over.
Falling for the local cabinetmaker wasn’t part of my plan. It’s too soon. I’m not ready. But Aiden is nothing like I expect. Beneath his gruff, guarded exterior is a man who’s unexpectedly kind and thoughtful. He’s someone I’m slowly starting to trust.
But the perfect night we share ends with Aiden walking away without a word. The days that follow are even worse. His cruelty almost shatters me, but I refuse to be broken again. I’ve fought too hard…and I deserve more.
AIDEN
Happy endings aren’t meant for men like me. Ten years ago, I made a mistake that ruined lives and left me drowning in guilt. I’ve kept everyone at arm’s length ever since. Safer for them. Safer for me.
Then Lola arrives in town, and suddenly, keeping my distance isn’t so easy. She's too sweet to ignore. I give in. Just once. But then I cross the line I swear I won’t—I hurt her.
Now, Lola won’t even look at me, and I might have lost my only chance at something real. But I’m done running. I’ll do whatever it takes to make things right…even if she never forgives me.
This book includes sensitive and mature themes, including recovering from past intimate partner abuse. Please check the detailed content guidance section for more information.
