Angol
Nine weeks before her wedding, Lena Hart comes home to save the family inn-and finds the man who broke her heart standing in the ballroom where she plans to say forever.
Eight years ago, Jude Mercer was Lena's first great love. He was also the man who let fear, family obligation, and silence destroy everything between them.
Now he's the contractor responsible for restoring the storm-damaged Whitecap Inn before Lena's wedding.
The problem is that Lena is already engaged to Daniel Reeves-a good man she genuinely loves. Daniel is steady, thoughtful, and part of the adult life Lena chose for herself. Jude belongs to a past she thought she had survived.
But as the restoration forces old memories into the present, Lena begins to realize that time has changed more than the building. Jude is no longer the man she remembers. Daniel is more complicated than the safe choice others might assume. And Lena herself has spent years becoming so good at not needing anyone that she may no longer know the difference between certainty and self-protection.
With the wedding approaching, Lena must confront a question no spreadsheet can answer:
Is forever the person who stayed-or the love that learned how to come back differently?
Before I Say Forever is an emotionally layered contemporary romance about second chances, difficult honesty, complicated choices, and the courage to choose a life without guarantees.
