Forever and the Forrest

Forrest Wells has always been good at reading people.Clients. Juries. His best friend Dominic.Apparently, the one person he can't read is himself.For years, Forrest has been comfortable with Chloe. They care about each other, they never fight, and neither has ever asked for more. Then Aurora Vale-his friend, fellow attorney, and favorite sparring partner-asks him to help rehearse for her community-theater audition for Sleeping Beauty.The kiss is supposed to be pretend.It isn't.One reckless rehearsal changes everything Forrest thought he knew about friendship, desire, and the life he's been sleepwalking through. Aurora is just as shaken, but Forrest still has a girlfriend-and she refuses to become someone's convenient next chapter.When Forrest finally chooses a future, he does it with his whole heart. Maybe a little too fast.Because saying "I love you" is easy.Convincing Aurora those words mean something different this time? That may be the hardest case he's ever argued.Funny, tender, wickedly sexy, and full of two competent adults making questionable decisions, Forever and the Forrest is a friends-to-lovers Sleeping Beauty-inspired romantic comedy about waking up, wanting more, and discovering that sometimes the person who knows you best is the one you never saw coming. Content warnings: explicit on-page sex, strong language, workplace romance, brief infidelity involving kissing before the end of a long-term relationship, a breakup, and illness/caretaking scenes including vomiting.
