Enemy of Time

Genres: Friendship; New Adult Romance

Synopsis

Some loves destroy you. Some save you. Some do both.

Alexandria Jinks thought she could outrun the past. Five years later, she's learned it's impossible. When a high school reunion forces her back to the town she abandoned, Alex finds herself face to face with everything she tried to forget — and the boy she can never truly let go.

Jamie was her first friend, her first kiss, her first love, her almost forever — the other half of every breath she took. Together, they survived broken families, impossible choices, and a love that always seemed just one step out of reach.

Until one night — and one decision — changed the course of their future forever.

As the past and present collide and old faces resurface — her brother Lucas and her childhood friend Kayla — buried betrayals come back to haunt her, and Alex finds herself caught between memories she can’t outrun and truths she’s tried to forget.

The Enemy of Time is a story of first loves, last chances, and how a single moment can unravel everything you thought you knew about love, time, and fate.
