**BOOK ONE OF A DUET** A novel about coming undone - and choosing to begin again. Ellie Carter has spent years holding it all together—balancing motherhood, study, and a carefully constructed life with a man who promised stability but left her shrinking inside the very world she built. When a chance encounter with Kieran Hayes—the boy who once stole her heart, the one she’s never forgotten—shakes the foundation she’s fought so hard to maintain, Ellie is forced to confront everything: the loneliness, the longing, and the question she’s never dared to ask… What if the life she built isn’t the one she wants? Kieran is older now. A rising star in a band finally making waves. But fame hasn’t dulled the memory of the girl who slipped away—or the ache of their unfinished story. When fate throws them back into each other’s orbit, what begins as a spark of reconnection quickly deepens into something neither of them expected—something tender, complicated, and quietly life-altering. And as Ellie lets go of the life she was told to want, she begins to rediscover the one thing she lost along the way—herself. Somehow Still You is a story of resilience, slow-burning love, and the quiet courage it takes to choose yourself - one breath, one moment, one day at a time.
