Description
Tessa O'Connell is a girl with an unbreakable spirit and a strength that will get her through anything. Her goal for her first year after college is to be fearless and make the best of every opportunity that comes her way. That includes adjusting to life in New York on her own and a brand-new job, all while missing her boyfriend as he gets through law school. But with Cole's unwavering love at her side, she's ready to conquer the world and build a life with the man she's going to marry, even if sometimes she has to do it alone. The insecurities and fears that once plagued their relationship have evolved into a love strong enough to weather anything — even a long-distance relationship. After five wonderful years together, there's nothing that will get in the way of their happily ever after — or is there? On their own for the first time in a long time, Cole and Tessa struggle to make sense of a changed reality that threatens to pull them apart. The one thing they know is that they're meant to be, and they'll do whatever it takes to stay together despite the curveballs thrown their way. With old friends and new, one crazy nana, stepbrothers, and former best friends making a comeback, Cole and Tessa are ready to make the transition into real life as a couple, and this is the story of how two people fight the odds to create their forever.
Warning: This story comes with a delectable Cole Stone as you've never seen him before: suited up, a lawyer in the making, still a little reckless at heart and rough around the edges. He's the bad boy you fell in love with, aging like the finest wine, and all the more in love with his Shortcake.
