Loving You First: Book 1 - Past (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798241500540)

A story about the love that endures even when everything else falls apart.

Ruby Sullivan thought she'd buried her past-the heartbreak, the loss, the questions she never asked. Two years after walking away from the man she once planned to marry, she's built a new life: a thriving financial firm, a circle of nosy loyal friends, and the kind of peace that doesn't depend on anyone else.

Until Neil Patterson comes back.

Once her best friend, her first love, and the man who broke her heart without meaning to, Neil has spent those same two years raising his son and learning how to rebuild after a mistake that changed everything. When their paths cross again, the spark that never died pulls them back together-but the wounds between them run deeper than either imagined.

As Ruby faces the what she's kept hidden and Neil fights to prove that love can still grow after devastation, they'll have to decide whether forgiveness can rewrite the past-or if some truths are too heavy to carry forward.

From childhood neighbors to college sweethearts, from heartbreak to healing, Loving You First is a moving, emotional journey about loss, rediscovery, and the quiet strength of choosing love again.

A story for anyone who's ever had to learn how to love-with honesty, with patience, and with their whole heart-all over again.
