You Knew I Was Yours
Part of the Whispers Beneath the Pines series
Valery Olstead is doing her best. She runs her family's bookstore, journals the feelings she's not ready to say out loud, and is cautiously dating the one man in town who actually seems emotionally available.
Jude Vallen is thoughtful, consistent, and showing up in all the ways that matter. For once, things feel calm.
Then Owen Rivers reappears with his familiar smirk and a sudden interest in being around. He's her brother's best friend, her old almost-crush, and the reason she's suddenly second-guessing everything.
Caught between comfort and chaos, Valery finds herself in the middle of a love triangle she didn't plan for. And the more she tries to keep things neat and manageable, the messier her heart gets.
You Knew I Was Yours is a slow-burn small-town romance with heat, heart, journal entries, and just enough emotional chaos to keep things interesting.
