She came home to escape the chaos. She didn't expect to fall for the one man who never left.

Lyric Ross thought she had it all: a booming career, a luxury apartment, and no ties to hold her back. But when a high-profile client walks away and a breakup rocks her foundation, she returns to Pine Bluff hoping to catch her breath. What she finds instead is the man she was never supposed to want.

Reid Carter is her best friend's younger brother. He's gritty, grounded, and the one person who ever saw through the polished version of her. Their chemistry burned hot back then. Now? It's a wildfire.

With Mia's wedding on the horizon, small-town gossip circling, and their past threatening to unravel, Lyric has a choice to make: go back to the life she built or stay and fight for the one thing that ever felt real.

Love Takes Time is a steamy, emotional, and deeply romantic short story about second chances, chosen family, and the kind of love that doesn't ask you to be anything but yourself.
