Losing Love by Laura Ashley Gallagher

To fall in love with her future, she must face the consequences of her past.

When I was nineteen, I had a plan. Work hard, become a teacher, and spend the rest of my life with my childhood sweetheart, Nick. But here’s the thing with plans—they’re fickle. I didn’t plan for Nick to die that year, or all the choices I’d have to make.
Six years on, I didn’t plan to stumble into Alex Hale—the man with piercing blue eyes and a smile that makes me melt. I didn’t plan to fall in love with him. With his heat and passion, he reignited the fire I had lost.
But I made choices in my past that will jeopardize everything. It’s a past that taught me our words can hurt, but it’s the ones we don’t have time to say that can destroy us.
