JUST FRIENDS

A moving, romantic story about second chances, the weight of dreams, and finding your way back to the people who feel like home.

Blair and Declan were inseparable growing up - best friends who knew each other better than anyone else. But when one impulsive, championship-night kiss took them from friends to something more, everything changed. Just as quickly as their romance started, one moment shattered it all, leaving them with nothing but heartbreak and silence.

Now, years later, Blair is back in their idyllic coastal hometown of Seabrook to support her mom and care for her great-aunt Lottie as her health declines. To make ends meet, Blair applies to work at a coffee shop - only to discover it's run by none other than Declan. The boy she loved. The boy she lost. The boy who still makes her heart race, even as years of hurt stand between them.

Caught between her responsibilities in Seabrook and a tempting opportunity to start fresh in New York, Blair is stuck at a crossroads. But as her path keeps crossing with Declan's, old wounds resurface, secrets are revealed, and sparks reignite.
