She was too much. He was never enough.
Until they found enough—in each other.
Annabelle Greenwick has already left two lives behind—one that didn’t want her, and one she didn’t want. The last place she expects to find herself is an old estate, its door already open—and a man who hasn’t let anyone in for years.
Valen Eldcroft insists on one rule: no one leaves without asking. It’s not magic—just the only way he knows how to live. Within his walls, solitude feels like protection.
Until Annabelle arrives.
What begins as a chance encounter grows—as trust deepens, and closeness demands more—into a love neither of them expected.
As old wounds surface and defenses crack, they learn that healing takes time—and love doesn't wait for permission.
But it might be worth the risk.
Never Just Enough is an emotionally rich, character-driven romance with found family, slow burn, and real, grown-up intimacy. Perfect for readers who crave softness after storms, and the kind of love that means doing the work—together.
Beautiful sentences. Terrible emotional consequences.
