Once they’d had it all. Now they want it back.
Finn Brennen, swim team star, and Anne Drecher, the wallflower who tutored him. Their study time sparked an unlikely friendship that might have blossomed into something more had college and careers not separated them. Years later, when fate brought them back to their hometown, their friendship turned into a love so breathtakingly deep that they couldn’t imagine life without the other.
But their happiness was short lived. They were torn apart once more—this time by Anne’s first cousin. A woman she was raised to think of as a sister.
For more than a decade, their hearts perpetually shattered by a love neither could forget, they are forced to hide their past. Anne built a life away from it all while Finn strove to give his son a stable home. But every family gathering brought them into the same room and served as a torturous reminder of what-ifs and could-have-beens.
Now Finn is divorced and ready to fight for what his heart wants and needs. Anne tries to resist but yearns for the love she thought she’d lost forever.
Is a second chance even possible when their love could tear a tightly-knit family apart?
‘You Weren’t Mine Then’ is a steamy slow-burn small-town romance with NO cheating. It can be read as a standalone and is the third in the Riviera View series, a collection of interconnected novels.
