Tennyson Truman thought she had her future figured out — until she was dumped just a week before her wedding and forced to start over from scratch. Picking up the pieces isn’t easy, but she’s never had to do it alone. Austin Banks, her best friend since they were teens, has always been there — steady, loyal, and quietly in love with her.
They’ve spent years working side by side at his family’s beloved restaurant, where Austin has been her protector, her confidant, and the one person who knows her better than anyone else. But all the while, Austin has kept his true feelings hidden, watching from the sidelines as Tennyson fell for someone else.
When Tennyson finally discovers the truth about Austin’s love for her, everything changes. The friendship they’ve shared for years ignites into something powerful, undeniable, and years of buried desire erupt into a chemistry neither could have predicted. What Tennyson thought was lost forever — love — feels like a second chance.
But just as they begin to build something real, Austin makes a choice that shatters her trust. Now, Tennyson must decide if she can forgive the one person who’s always been there to protect her… or if some betrayals run too deep, even for love that’s been ever known.

Thank you to everyone who posted congrats on the release of Ever Known. I appreciate every message on FB and Insta, the texts, and so much love. I am so very grateful for the support! Ending the day with a very last minute impromtu trip to Sea Isle( with a side of a Jason Kelce spotting and wave) with my Mia to spend quality time with family, but missing my boys. My heart is so full. Thanks to Lydia Harbaugh @ HEA PR and more, my editor Mo Sytsma @ Comma Sutra Editorial, Erica Alexander @ Serendipity Formats, for EVERYTHING and my wonderfully talented husband for designing the cover of my dreams. Lastly, to my kids and again my husband for believing in me and being with me for this crazy ride, and the rides not over yet. Post here your copy of the paperback or on your Kindle for me. It makes me so happy! This is just the new beginning… to be continued 📖💜📖💜

I have always posted my dedications a week before any of my books released. So much hard work and time was poured out into this book and I am so proud. There were so many personal hurdles I had to jump over to write it & then everything else that goes into it. When I write a dedication, I write it from my heart. One week to go. I think i’m ready 💜🌸💜
