Hearts & Souls by Lara Bruni

A fun, open door, small-town, rom-com full of banter and heart-melting heat, perfect for fans of Catherine Cowles, Elsie Silver and Laura Pavlov.

Happily-ever-after’s aren’t always what they’re cracked up to be. I should know. My childhood best friend gave me my first kiss and then ghosted me. Five years later he comes home, takes my V-card, and leaves without saying goodbye. Again.
Twice love has knocked me sideways. Twice the one I loved with all my heart left without saying goodbye.

Now, Rowan Cole, my brother’s best friend and one of the world’s Sexiest Men Alive, has come back to Lakeside. Not only to make a movie about his life, but to win me back, Heart & Soul.
