Until We Meet Again
By Serena Heart
SYNOPSIS
Kayla just found out the worst possible news—her biggest competitor, Emily, is having a fling with their boss. Which means the promotion Kayla has been fighting for over the last three years? Practically handed to Emily on a silver platter.
But if there’s one thing Kayla doesn’t do, it’s give up.
Determined to level the playing field, she looks for a way to get noticed by the real decision-maker—her boss’s boss. That’s when she discovers a golden opportunity: his daughter has a massive crush on Nicolas Cole.
Her estranged childhood best friend. Her first love. The boy whose heart she broke a decade ago.
Nicholas is the one person she swore never to cross paths with again. But now, she has two choices—walk away and let the unfairness continue or take a shot at the promotion, even if it means stepping back into his life.
So, she does what any determined woman would do—convinces the boss’s daughter that she can play matchmaker. But as she arranges dates and surprise vacations, something unexpected happens.
The more she pushes Nicholas toward someone else, the more the past catches up with her and the harder it becomes to ignore the lingering sparks between them. Old feelings resurface, blurring the lines between her carefully crafted plan and the emotions she thought she’d left behind.

Prologue
The only thing I loved about Ravensby was the breezy ocean spread all over its axis. It was a place where one could go and cry all their problems away. It was stunning but desolate—just like me. Tourists had somehow missed this beauty, so it was still undefiled. It was my hiding place, the only place I could be myself without worrying about others and their thoughts. The sun stretched out in the wild expanse of the sky, streaks of pink and blue jutting out of it. It danced in the sky like it was happy up there, like it could seep some hope into my life and make me happier. Apart from that, there was nothing else here. The locales were not ambitious. They only wanted a small family business that would provide enough funding for their businesses. The houses here were the same— small boulevard, tree-lined with peeling white paint and faded blue shutters that had seen better days. Each one had a neat little porch, and some even had rocking chairs or flower pots, but they were all dried up. Dad would argue that they all were coated in love, but I call bullshit. Living poor and humble was not love. If it was, why did Mum leave? I stared at the waves as they kissed the shore, the cool water barely grazing my toes as I sat with my knees tucked to my chest. The ocean was the only thing that felt free here. Everything else seemed tied down by invisible ropes—this town, these people, and even Dad. On the other side of the beach, the skyline of tall buildings taunted me, reminding me of the life I wanted, the life I would have. Not this small-town, humble existence that Grandma always preached about. No, I’d live in one of those tall buildings, surrounded by noise and lights, not this suffocating silence.“Kay.” Dad’s voice broke my thoughts, and I clenched my fists in the sand. Of course, he had followed me. He never knew when to leave me alone, claiming it was out of love. But we wouldn’t be stuck in this dying town if he truly loved me.
