Words We Didn’t Say by Aubrey Whitten
Sometimes, a second chance means risking everything…
EDEN
I thought the days of protecting my heart with mindless flings were over. Zach promised me a future I never dared to hope for—a soulmate, a family who truly wants me.
But after I moved in, Zach checked out. He’s distant, always at the office, and has never whispered the “I love you” I desperately need to hear. He treats me like an afterthought. I’m nothing but the last tick box on his five-year plan.
But I didn’t become Sydney’s hottest hairstylist by settling for second best. Six months later, no ring, and Zach’s former hookup causing drama? I’m done.
ZACH
I’ve sacrificed everything to be more than the nerd from the wrong side of the tracks. Surviving ten years in the city’s most cutthroat law firm didn’t just make me a good lawyer; I’m the best. Love? That has never been a priority with partnership on the line…until Eden.
I know I’ve neglected our relationship. I convinced myself Eden would wait. But when I return home to an empty apartment, reality finally hits me—I’ve lost the woman more precious than any promotion.
Half-hearted apologies and flowers won’t be enough to prove I deserve a second chance. Winning Eden back means risking everything I’ve ever worked for.
Words We Didn’t Say is an emotional second-chance romance and is the first book in the standalone What Went Wrong series. For readers who love angst, relationships in trouble, and a sweet Australian hero who fights for an accomplished heroine whose forgiveness isn’t easily won.
This book includes mature themes and is intended for adults only. Detailed content guidance is available on the author’s website.
