SHE WAS NEVER SUPPOSED TO BE MINE

Some loves don’t end.
They wait.

Lena Hart left Port Blossom years ago with a broken heart and a promise to herself that she would never look back. She built a new life in the city, one defined by stability, success, and certainty. Now she’s engaged to a man who offers safety instead of storms, a future that makes sense instead of one that feels dangerous.

Coming back was never part of the plan.

But when unfinished business forces Lena to return to the coastal town she swore she’d never see again, the past rises with the tide. The salt air carries memories she tried to bury. Every familiar street reminds her of the life she walked away from. And then there’s Ethan Cole.

Ethan never left Port Blossom. He stayed, carrying the weight of a decision that cost him everything. Years ago, he pushed Lena away not because he stopped loving her, but because loving her meant risking her future. He believed letting her go was the only way to protect her, even if it meant living with regret for the rest of his life.

Now she’s back. Older. Changed. Engaged.

And the connection between them is still there, deeper and more dangerous than before.

As old wounds reopen and long-buried truths surface, Lena is forced to confront the question she’s avoided for years. Is the life she built enough, or has she mistaken safety for happiness? And Ethan must decide whether love is something you endure in silence, or something you finally fight for, no matter the cost.

Torn between the future she planned and the love she never truly lost, Lena must choose between what feels right on paper and what feels undeniable in her heart.

She Was Never Supposed to Be Mine is an emotionally rich, slow-burn contemporary romance about second chances, unresolved love, and the courage it takes to choose truth over fear. Perfect for readers who love deeply emotional stories filled with longing, restraint, and unforgettable chemistry, this novel explores what happens when the past refuses to stay buried and love demands to be seen.

Because some loves are never finished.
They’re only waiting for the right moment to be claimed.
