I walked down the aisle and said “I do” to the wrong man.

Unfortunately, it took me eight years to figure it out.

Nine if you count the year after I figured it out to get my head together and see who was right in front of me the whole time.

You’d think that being a romance author would have helped me to see the signs.

I’d been able to write my own happily-ever-after so easily.

But like so many of the books I read and write, it took something dramatic to happen before I opened my eyes and saw Brock as the man he’s been to me my entire life.

I get a second chance to do this love thing right and I won’t mess it up again.

She asked me to walk her down the aisle but how could I do that when I knew she was about to say “I do” to the wrong man?

It didn’t take some big epiphany for me to suddenly realize I had feelings for her.

They were just… there. Always.

I missed my chance because I was a young coward.

No longer the scared teenager, I’m a man who knows who and what I want.

I’m not going to make the same mistake again or ignore the second chance I’ve been given.

Naomi’s about to see whose held my heart all these years.

Because the pain of watching her build a life with another man was almost more than I could handle.

But loving her? Having the chance to show her a true love? Well, it’s indescribable.

Release Blitz - Never Really Over by Jennifer Van Wyk

Title: Never Really Over

Author: Jennifer Van Wyk

Genre: Single Dad Small Town Romance

Release Date: September 30, 2021

BLURB

With one phone call, Colt's life turned completely upside down, inside out, backwards, spiraled out of control... however you want to say it.

He was used to life not going as planned, but this little detour changed his life forever and completely terrified him. But he didn't have time to dwell on the fact he was now this toddler's one and only parent.

His little niece Poppy needed him and he was determined not to fail her.

But life continued to throw curve balls.

While trying to learn his new normal, Layla, his first and only love, breezed back into his life. That might have excited him, but he hadn't counted on the fact that she'd changed over the years.

Gone was the girl he fell in love with, replaced with someone he could barely stand to be around.

Colt didn't have time to deal with a snobby, bitter grump when he had a farm to run and a toddler to raise.

She may still be the most gorgeous woman he'd ever laid eyes on, but to him, beauty was about more than what was on the surface.

The problem was, he was starting to wonder if the new Layla wasn't really who she was.

He tried to resist her but sometimes love is never really over.

PLAYLIST

EXCERPT

Conversation continues around us, but all I see is Layla. For the first time in over a dozen years, I wish my friends weren’t around.

I could pull her out of her chair and onto my lap. She’d feel my hardening erection and I wouldn’t care because she’s the one who did it to me. I’d reach up and thread my fingers through her hair, keeping it away from her beautiful face, and pull her lips to mine.

From that moment on, we would simply exist as one.

“Colt,” she whispers, her voice a lustful combination of turned on and scared. I know the feeling.

“Yeah, baby?”

She makes a noise in the back of her throat. “Oh, shit, you called me baby. I can’t handle this.”

“Sorry. Am I overstepping?” I ask, reluctantly removing my hand from her.

“No! It’s just,” she drops her head, shaking it back and forth, “I never thought…”

“Never thought what?”

Layla’s eyes never leave mine as if she’s hoping she can still read right through me. She probably can, and maybe I should be worried about that but I’m really not. If Natalie’s death taught me anything, it’s that life is short. Yeah, I was hurt. Tim pulled me aside earlier and said point blank that I had only two choices. Either get over it because life isn’t meant to be lived holding a grudge, or live alone the rest of my life and likely have to watch her eventually with another man. He’d understood the hurt, hell, he was the first one here after she left so he saw the destruction from the beginning. The other man part isn’t what changed my mind. It was the holding a grudge part.

Natalie would have kicked my ass if she’d still been here when Layla came back. She always told me we’d find our way back, our path just didn’t look like I’d originally thought it would. And maybe that’s part of why I was holding onto that hurt. Because my plan was changed.

“I never thought we’d be able to even consider getting back to this.”

“Are you considering it?” I ask her, even though I know the answer. I need to hear it from her lips.

She watches me closely. “I am. Might be stupid, but it goes beyond consideration straight into hope. I’m hoping for this.”

I smile and give her neck a little squeeze. “I’m right there with you.”
