One night with the wrong guy was all it took to unravel me—proof that I’m not as tough as I seem. So I swore off men, convinced I needed to work on myself. Heal myself. But life has a twisted sense of humor. Just when I settle on solitude, I crash—literally—into Luke.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMy best friend’s older brother. The one I’ve always wanted but never let myself peruse. He’s everything I told myself was off-limits: older, accomplished, heartbreakingly unattainable. And worse—he sees right through me. Every time I try to keep my distance, he looks at me like I’m the one thing he’s been waiting for.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut crossing that line could cost me everything. Even if not crossing it is already tearing me apart.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLuke-\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI didn’t spend years pining after Blake. That’s not how it happened.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBack then, she was just my sister’s best friend. A little wild, always around, always laughing too loud. I had a wife, a life I thought made sense.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eQuietly, slowly,my marriage was crumbling around me; over long before I admitted it out loud. And somewhere in that silence, there she was—Blake. Not trying. Not even looking at me that way. Just… being her.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd suddenly, I couldn’t stop seeing her.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt wasn’t some big romantic moment. It was a tangle of small ones.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow five years later, she’s here. Still trying to pretend we’re just friends. Still keeping me at arm’s length. But I’ve already lived through loving the wrong person. I know what that feels like.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis—what’s between us—it’s the first thing that’s felt real in a long time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd I’m not walking away from it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Wandering Book Bus","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46455354392768,"sku":"9798991814829","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/3356\/5120\/files\/9798991814829.jpg?v=1749141393","url":"https:\/\/wanderingbookbus.myshopify.com\/products\/this-time-around-twist-of-fate","provider":"The Wandering Book Bus","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
