Publisher's summary
High school best friends Sara and Sofia had always been inseparable, but neither of them knew that they were hiding a secret attraction. The girls lost touch after graduation, but thirty years later, they run into each other in a coffee shop, and it’s love at first sight. Or second sight, anyway.
They’re both too old to fall this fast, but they don’t want to waste any more time. After years of being single, Sara and Sofia are about to find out that true love was worth waiting for – and their first love can also be their last.
“Worth Waiting For” is a short story set in Reba Bale’s “Friends to Lovers” world. If you like steamy but sweet midlife romances with a lot of snark and a heart-warming happily ever after, check out this fun sapphic romance today.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 1,588
Romance can be a little complicated when you get sucked into a wormhole. Just ask high school English teacher June Flint. One little solar flare happens and suddenly you find yourself 85 years in the future. Eighty-five years from your dream job. Your ailing mother whose only companion in this world is you. Your favorite stuffed-crust pizza from DeLucia’s on Sunday nights. But when June’s cell phone inexplicably picks up a signal, she’s able to call back to the present—more specifically, four weeks before she accidentally time traveled.

Eight years ago I fell into a secret summer fling with my best friend’s little sister before our lives went in different directions. Now, I’m the grumpy to Juliet’s sunshine on a popular dating podcast we host, and when a wealthy fan gives us a charming coastal cottage as the biggest thank you ever, we head to the town where I grew up to give it a makeover. And find the house has only one bed. Located under a mirrored ceiling.

Iris Nightingale is more than okay. She has her life planned out to a perfect schedule. Work, run, sleep, repeat. She spends her quiet Friday nights sitting alone on a bench in the park, trying to push back the memories that no amount of running can help her escape. But one evening, there’s someone else on her bench - Hunter. Tall, wry and infuriating: everything about him gets under Iris’s skin. Little does she know that he's about to upset more than just her routines...
