Time After Time

Time has an interesting way of showing you what you fear most.

Geneviève St. James

At 20, Geneviève feels like something is missing. Nothing takes her breath away the way she’s heard it should. Her father pushes her toward universities far from Golden Sands, the small European coastal town she’s always called home. But as summer slips by, Geneviève can’t shake the worry that she’s destined to live a life that doesn’t fit, full of regret. The pressure to find her passion is suffocating, and she’s haunted by a nightmare of a future where she’s lost everything that matters: her family, her sister, and most of all, Sebastian. She refuses to let that become her reality.

Sebastian Ventura

Sebastian has always loved baking. At 21, he’s been working tirelessly toward landing an apprenticeship with the pastry chef he admires. It’s his dream, and he’s doing everything he can to make it a reality. But the thought of leaving Golden Sands—and the people who matter most—hits him harder than he expected. He loves this town, the comfort of his family, and most of all, he loves Geneviève. She’s been his best friend, the one constant in his life, and the girl he’s been secretly in love with for years. The idea of leaving her behind isn’t something he’s ready to face, and it’s a reality he’s not sure he can accept.

With summer drawing to a close, Geneviève and Sebastian face an impossible decision: risk their friendship for love or let their dreams take the lead. Because it’s one or the other... right?
