Shellbi Washington (29) is a successful event planner. A workaholic. A perfectionist. And completely disconnected from anything close to a love life.
Roman Johnson (29) is a self-made freelance photographer. He's fine, he knows it, and he's got a bad habit of ghosting women after the first night. He doesn't do commitment-and he likes it that way.
Dayshawn Harris (32) is a smooth-talking entrepreneur who runs his own consulting firm. He's grown, grounded, and always playing the role of big brother, even when nobody asked him to.
Lauren Brooks (31) is a rising writer with a sharp tongue, big opinions, and a romantic streak she swears doesn't exist. She's the kind of woman who reads people faster than a book.
Four best friends.
Two setups.
One plan that was supposed to help everyone else find love.
But when Daquan and Shellbi try to play matchmaker for their best friends-Roman and Lauren-what starts as one simple night out turns into a chain reaction neither of them saw coming.
Lines get crossed.
Feelings get messy.
And one night changes everything.

And when it comes to this - when it comes to the life we've built - that's something I won't ever turn my back on." ~~~ It's been five years since Roman and Jensen took the step of becoming something more. It's been five years of wonderful dates, amazing trips, and beautiful memories. It's been five years of blissful happiness with nothing except pure excitement for their bright future together. But right as they're about to take another substantial leap, one final obstacle is left standing in Roman's way. Long forgotten attachments return. Broken relationships are thrust back into his face. The resolve he's worked so hard to create is put to the test, and he has to decide if he'll let this hurdle build him, or break him. Roman is willing to fight for an amazing future. An amazing life.

Finding Him In My Multiverse ✔
"You can't have everything." "Why can't I?" He shouted. I stretched my hand, giving him the jacket. "Because that's not how it works." Assuming he was reaching for the jacket, I moved closer but instead he pulled me by the arms and secured his hand around my waist. "Then how can he have everything he wants?" Seth said, his voice was a whisper in my ear, his face beside mine, his jaw grazing my cheek. I flinched away. **** Alyssa Lucille is rich and young, she's sixteen. That's it. The good part is over.

Starting With You
Romance trope: best friends to lovers. "You're supposed to be my best friend, but all I can think about is kissing you again." TEDDY: I somehow got stuck in the unfortunate "one of the guys" category. It was on accident, naturally falling into this role since my childhood best friend was a boy. The crush on my best friend was also an accident. He's always seen me as one of the guys. That is, until the one drunken night he didn't. The one that nearly ruined everything a decade ago. JENSEN: It was much easier when I didn't notice how hot my best friend is. It would be even better if the rest of the jackoffs in our small town would stop noticing too. I can still remember all the details from our night together years ago. The night we never talk about, yet it's still so fresh in my mind. But will a secret scar from a past relationship ruin everything? [This is BOOK ONE of the WITH YOU series, a small town romance series set in Minnesota about the lives of the dysfunctional, blended Anderson family - with an interwoven mystery built into the background that spans the entirety of the series.] **Title formerly The Rest of Forever**Complete
