When We Had Forever: A Novel

by Shaylin Gandhi

Overview

“Captivating and emotionally charged with a storyline you won’t see coming. All the stars in the sky.” —MIA SHERIDAN, New York Times bestselling author

An emotionally powerful roller coaster of a novel about losing and finding love, perfect for fans of Colleen Hoover and Lucy Score.

Six months after her husband died in a car crash, Mina Drake is still mired in a haze of grief. Reminders of her years with Michael are everywhere, but beneath her heartache lies an even more painful emotion. It’s a guilty suspicion she can hardly admit to anyone, even herself—that her marriage was over long before Michael’s accident.

They were good together once, she’s sure of it, sharing a connection so deep that Mina can’t understand how it unraveled. That is, until a chance discovery in her husband’s office—and the reappearance of Michael’s estranged brother, Grayson, a notorious bad-boy photographer—awakens her to possible answers.

More shocking still is the pull Mina feels to tattooed, scarred Grayson, who’s nothing at all like the man she married. But as feelings stir to life again, so do secrets, changing everything she thought she knew about her marriage, and about the risks and rewards of loving with no limits…

Perfect for fans of:

• Enemies-to-lovers
• Second Chance Romance
• Slow Burns
• Forbidden Love
• Lucy Score, Emily Henry and Mia Sheridan
