First, Last, Maybe

Natalie is nothing like the girl she used to be. She left the late nights, the driving duty, and the weight of being everyone's backup plan far behind. Scotland gave her a new life. A title. A marriage that steadied her. And an adopted father, Julian Avery, who made her feel wanted for the first time. Now she is a young widow trying to keep her footing after losing him too. Her debut novel is being adapted for film, something she never imagined would happen.
The studio buying it? Owned by TJ and Dan. The past she thought she'd buried is suddenly sitting across the table from her. TJ never stopped trying to find her. Not once. He wanted her long before either of them could admit it, and the years apart didn't dull that. Seeing her again takes him out at the knees. She is polished, distant, and carrying a life that seems untouchable. He is everything she walked away from.
She belongs to a world that finally treated her like she mattered. He belongs to the version of herself she refuses to revisit. And the pull between them has never learned how to die. This is a story about missed moments, second chances, and two people who keep colliding no matter how far they drift. Some connections don't disappear. They wait. And sooner or later, you have to decide whether to shut the door or walk through it.
