That Can't Be Us - A Heartfelt Romance of Love, Doubt, and Healing
Lani Banks has one rule when it comes to love: do not end up with a man like her father. But at this point, that rule seems almost irrelevant. Lani is twenty-two and has never had a boyfriend-not for lack of trying, but because dating has always ended in disappointment. Although, between her job as an EMT and preparing for PA school, Lani has more important things to worry about. Love can wait. That is, until she meets Adam Vanek-a rising hockey star that carries an air of quiet mystery.
Despite being undeniably handsome, Adam is also kind, charming, and just might be the answer to Lani's prayers. The only problem? He refuses to talk about his past. But that's not a real problem-just a small hitch, a little hiccup... right?
At first, everything feels like a dream-heartfelt connection and the promise of something real has Lani thinking Adam could be the one. But a jarring discovery soon shakes her conviction, leading her to suspect that Adam's feelings for an old flame may not be entirely in the past.
While Lani navigates the struggles of first love, along with old wounds that never truly healed, she questions if her suspicions are unfounded, or if she's on the brink of uncovering a devastating truth. Lani knows betrayal too well-her father made sure of that. Will Adam be another crippling heartbreak? Or will his hidden past reveal a truth that changes everything?
That Can't Be Us is an emotional and gripping romance that explores the fragile balance between love and fear, the wounds of the past, and the courage it takes to open one's heart. Perfect for fans of Leanne Slade and Nina Kenwood, this novel will keep you turning pages late into the night.
