THE MORNING AFTER US: A Steamy Contemporary Romance About One Reckless Night, an Unexpected Reunion, and a Love Neither of Them Could Forget
About this ebook
No names beyond the ones they chose to share. No promises. No questions in the morning.
For one reckless evening at her best friend’s London wedding, Maya Bennett escapes the crushing debt, leaking roof, and impossible responsibility of saving The Tide House—the seaside guesthouse her late mother left behind. In the arms of a guarded stranger named Julian, she feels free for the first time in years.
Then fear takes over.
Maya disappears before sunrise, convinced that leaving first is the only way to avoid being abandoned.
Two weeks later, Julian walks into The Tide House and shatters every illusion she had about their night together.
He is Julian Cross, the powerful executive whose family company has purchased the debt attached to her home. His mission is simple: persuade Maya to surrender the crumbling guesthouse so Cross Harbour can replace it with a luxury coastal resort.
Maya refuses.
Forced to remain in the same small town, Maya and Julian become trapped between a growing attraction neither can forget and a battle neither can afford to lose. But as buried financial secrets surface and Julian begins questioning his family’s motives, their private connection becomes dangerous.
When details of their one-night stand are exposed, Maya’s reputation is destroyed, the town turns against her, and the man she has finally begun to trust appears to have used her deepest wounds against her.
To save The Tide House, Maya must decide whether holding on means protecting her mother’s legacy—or allowing fear to control the rest of her life.
And Julian must choose between the empire he was raised to inherit and the woman who has become the one place that feels like home.
The Morning After Us is a steamy, emotionally gripping contemporary romance filled with forbidden attraction, forced proximity, family betrayal, small-town conflict, painful secrets, and a love worth risking everything to keep.
