All we have is the time in between that. The problem? Time's running out... and we both want more.This is a full length 90,000+ word slow burn romance novel with a guitar play, a painter, an unspoken summer romance past, a present they never saw coming, and a complete HEA, no cliffhanger ending that will make you fall in love with Crosby and Josie.
