The Long Waiting

Charlotte Webb has loved Noah Brennan since she was seventeen. For fifteen years, she's been his best friend, his confidant—and secretly, hopelessly in love with him. She wrote letters she never sent, watched him date other women, and waited for him to see her as more than a friend. When Noah returns to Willowbrook to care for his sick mother, he finally sees what's been in front of him all along. But can two people who spent fifteen years missing their chance build something real? A deeply emotional story about patient love, second chances, and the courage to believe that some hearts are worth waiting for—no matter how long it takes.
