Pushing You Away is now available on all retailers!
Iāve been in love with my best friend Katie Walker for as long as I can remember. We may have shared our deepest, darkest secrets but that one Iāve kept to myself. Before I got the courage to confess my true feelings, my cousin Gabe moved to town and swept Katie off her feet.
I shouldāve admitted how I felt but I couldnātāespecially once they got married.
When I caught Gabe cheating on his pregnant wife, I snapped. A deadly fight erupted and before I could comprehend what happened, I was charged with his murder and sent to prison.
The day Iām released, I go straight to Katieās house. But after pushing her away for a decade while I was behind barsāshe slams the door in my faceāwanting nothing to do with me.
While sheās determined to pretend I donāt exist, this time Iām not going anywhere.
PUSHING YOU AWAY is a slow burn, angsty friends to lovers romance with lots of small-town, Southern drama. It’s book 1 in the Noah & Katie duet and must be read in order.
Noah doesnāt remember a time that he hasnāt loved his best friend Katie, but he wasnāt sure if he wanted to take the chance of destroying the best relationship he had and then it was too late. When she ended up marrying his cousin Gabe and pregnant with his son things becomes a whole lot more complicated when Noah ended up incarcerated for Gabeās death. A decade later he is back in town trying to pick up the pieces of his life and his relationship with Katie but that is easier said than done.
When Gabe passed away Katie lost the two most important people in her life when Noah cut off all contact with her. Now that he is back in town, she isnāt about to just let him back into her life but that isnāt so easy to do when someone isnāt about to let Noahās past stay in the past and they donāt care if others get caught in the crossfire.
Everything that Noah and Katie have faced may have changed them but not their feelings for each. Just when they start healing from the past and have hope for the future, we get a cliffhanger that leaves us wondering what the future holds for this couple.
