Those Who Came Before

“I want meaningful. He wants meaningless. He desires to stay well away from loves steep cliff, I’m still nose-diving over its edge for my ex-boyfriend. If ever there were two people who wouldn’t work, it’s us.”

Ophelia Jones thought her first love would be her last. Still healing from the break-up, she doesn't think she'll ever move on. Yet even with the pain, she thinks falling in love, and experiencing love, is worth it.

Adrian Wilde has experienced enough heartache that he's vowed never to fall in love. He doesn't think it’s worth the pain, so when he meets Ophelia and hears her story, he can't understand why she'd want to experience it again.

As the two spend the holidays together in Adrian's family lodge, they find it all too easy opening up to one another. But as their hearts start opening up with them, can they find the courage to move on?
