The Story of Us — Cassia Leo

Five pages... A letter holding a secret buried for more than five years... A secret neither of them wanted to know. Will the truth tear them apart… again?

I've loved my best friend's brother, Houston Cavanaugh, since I was eleven years old. But my friendship with Hallie Cavanaugh meant too much to me to risk taking a chance with Houston.

Until one snowy afternoon, Houston and I find ourselves thrust together by the grief of Hallie's death. Our passionate and toxic relationship will test the boundaries of our loyalty to each other and to Hallie's memory, ultimately, leaving us in ruins.

Five years later, Houston and I are forced to work together opening up a new wine bar, and, to my horror, Houston doesn't recognize me.

I haven't changed much, but he certainly has.

He's still as sexy as he was five years ago when he broke my heart, but time, grief, and a loveless marriage have broken him.

The moment Houston recognizes me, all our memories and long-buried passion come rushing to the surface. Can we rewrite our story with a happy ending this time? Or will his secrets be our unraveling again?
