About Trying Not to Need You
Baylor
I thought I was living my happily ever after.
But after five years in New York, building my life around a man who stopped choosing me, I realized our future was nothing more than a dream.
So I walked away.
From the city. From him. From the family I thought we would build together.
Now I am back in Magnolia Ridge with my sisters, trying to figure out who I am without the life I planned.
I did not come home looking for love.
But somehow, love has been waiting for me all along.
Macklin
I have loved Baylor Moran for years.
The timing was always wrong. Until now.
She is back in Magnolia Ridge with a bruised heart and walls higher than ever. But that is okay. I will be here when they are ready to come down.
Baylor can take all the time she needs.
I am not going anywhere.
And while she is trying not to need me, I will keep loving her until she realizes she is not falling apart anymore.
She is finally falling—straight into the future we were always meant to have.
Availability
Trying Not to Need You is currently available for preorder in eBook format on Amazon.
