The Always One (ebook)

She’s had a crush on him since college. He thinks she’s the one who got away. Now that they’re living together, can they finally figure out the truth?

I’ve had a crush on Smith Harrington since college—the kind that never really goes away, no matter how hard you try to outgrow it.

Years later, when I offer him a partnership at my veterinary clinic and a room in my new house, I tell myself it’s strictly business. We’re adults now. I can handle being around him without turning into that tongue-tied girl with the pounding heart.

But living together changes everything. He teases, he helps, he looks at me like maybe he’s been waiting just as long as I have. And suddenly, every line I drew between friendship and something more starts to disappear.

Maybe he was never the one who got away.

Maybe he’s the one who was meant to stay.
