Wouldn’t I Love to Tell Him…

A first love. A first heartbreak. A second chance neither of them saw coming…

Jane couldn’t bear the thought of speaking to Jae again. Not after the heartbreak, the silence, and the perfect life he seemed to have built without her. For three decades, she’s avoided him. Convinced he’d moved on and forgotten her, she was determined to leave the memories of their teenage love in the past. But when he comes running down her street one day, the feelings she spent years trying to suppress finally demand to be heard.

As life keeps pulling them into the same spaces, Jane is forced to confront the past she’s spent most of her adult life outrunning. Every unexpected glimpse of him stirs old emotions she thought she’d outgrown, and the avoidance that once protected her begins to feel like its own kind of heartbreak.

With the echoes of their daughters’ dance studios, the chaos of parenting, and the weight of their shared history weaving their lives together again, Jane must decide whether facing her truth is worth the risk and whether their connection will endure no matter how much time has passed.

A tender, introspective second-chance romance about healing, courage, and the quiet bravery it takes to stop running from the past—and from yourself.
