Signed paperback of Always the Bride

Tropes:  Brothers Best Friend ● Road Trip (Kind of) ● It's Always Been You

Ruby Mitchell had been daydreaming about her brother’s best friend for as long as she can remember. West Rivers. Charming, handsome, friendly, and most importantly, he understands her better than anyone. But she’s trying to build her own business and, with her feelings for him unrequited, Ruby is forced to avoid him to try and save her heart.

West likes his life as it is. He has a job that actually interests him, a house he loves, and he can’t think of anything more important to him than the Mitchell family. Especially Ruby. She’s one of his closest friends and the thought of losing her is more than he can stomach. But she’s pulled away from him lately and the distance has been slowly killing him.

Now in a strange twist of fate, they’ve found themselves stranded across the country. Desperate to get home for the holidays, they have no choice but to embark on the journey together, even as everything goes wrong.

Ruby is trying to keep her feelings in check while West is frantic to salvage something he’s terrified he’s already lost forever.
