Fear of abandonment has been a crippling issue for Henrietta her entire life. It's why when her bestie comes out of the closet in college, admitting to being in love with her she agrees to take their friendship to another level.

Aaron's led a charmed life. He has a perfect family, a dream job, and his business is booming. He also plans on marrying his equally perfect girlfriend who he's been with for over ten years. Then he meets his kid sister's college buddy Henri.

At first it's easy to deny and even try to forget the incredible connection they felt after just one conversation. But when Henri accepts a job working for Aaron and they begin seeing each other almost daily, what they're feeling for each other becomes impossible to deny.

Should Aaron and Henri stay with the ones they love or take a chance on something so extraordinary it's impossible to even explain—understand. Making such a life-altering decision is truly scary.

But even more scary than that?

Regret.

Defining Love. Which is the forever kind?

Defining Love

Aaron never arrived that day as I’d held out hope he might. My head knew he wouldn’t, but my heart never gave up, not even on the following days when I didn’t hear from him nor did he respond to the texts where I told him I loved him and was sorry.


I hadn’t heard from Edi in days either, and I felt completely numb. Once again, I was all alone as I’d always known I’d end up. I had Gemma, who spent all her time in that damn yard, and I’d begun to think maybe that was my fate: to end up with Gemma for the rest of my life. Maybe I should embrace being alone as she did rather than dwell on it. If Gemma loved her time alone so much, maybe it wasn’t such a bad life.


It sure as hell beat the heartache of putting your heart out there to friends and lovers only to have it crushed. As much as I tried to cover up my screwed-up mind or pretend to be something I wasn’t, they’d eventually see me for who I really was and leave.
