Maybe This Time

Whatever happens at Mystique stays at Mystique… until it doesn’t.

When Talya Morrone agreed to a night out for her birthday after her very relentlessly persuasive sister made her, she had one goal in mind.
Attend Mystique’s Halloween night and get it over with.

But nothing about the night goes as planned when she unexpectedly runs into Ezra James—her childhood best friend and the only man she’s ever loved. They haven’t spoken in months after a letter that was meant to change everything went unanswered, but Ezra is determined to get closure and their reunion is charged with everything they’ve left unsaid: years of what-ifs, regret, and a chemistry that refuses to stay buried.

As old wounds resurface and sparks ignite, Talya and Ezra are forced to face the truth they’ve both spent years avoiding.
And maybe this time, the love they’ve been running from will be the one thing worth holding on to.
