Somehow Still You (Signed Copy)

The first time Ellie Carter met Kieran Hayes, festival lights lit up the night sky and the world felt wide open. The second time, he was bleeding in her emergency department—older, softer, still impossible to forget.

Ellie thought she made the right choice when she walked away. She built a life that looked perfect on paper: a steady partner, a sweet daughter, a picture-perfect home. But behind closed doors, perfection felt like a cage. Love became control. Smiles became silence. And Ellie became someone she barely recognised.

She was never supposed to see Kieran again. But life has a way of circling back—when you least expect it, and when you need it the most.

Drawn together by fate, timing, and unfinished history, Ellie and Kieran find themselves facing not just what was left unsaid between them, but everything they’ve both become in the years apart.

Now, caught between the girl she was, the woman she’s become, and the future she wants to build, Ellie stands at a crossroads: stay trapped in a life that checks all the boxes, or take a chance on a love that sees her. Fully. Freely. Scars and all.

A slow-burn, second-chance love story about healing, agency, and the kind of love that doesn’t try to save you—but stays.
