A secret love. A yearning for adventure. A fast-paced friends-to-lovers
story you can’t put down.

Naomi Winters compares every boyfriend to the one man who’s out of
reach. When wedding bells start ringing around her, she’s determined
to go after her own happily-ever-after and make Revan see what’s
always been right in front of his eyes. There are only a couple of minor
problems… He’s one of her best friends, and he thinks of her as
a—sister!

Adventures are part of Revan Forrester’s life. The camera is his
steady girlfriend, and there’s absolutely no room for diamond rings or
diaper duty. Until the woman he remembers as a pesky girl gives the word
adventure a new meaning. But he stoically refuses to let conflicting
feelings ruin his lifelong friendship with the woman he suddenly sees in a
different light.

While they’re having a rousing, emotional tug-of-war, someone else is
tired of watching from the sidelines and is quietly shortening the rope.
Will Naomi and Revan be able to meet in the middle?

IN DUE TIME is a story about lifelong dreams and finding the courage to
pursue them.

Excerpt

Naomi – January 2019

Dodging piles of dirty snow and puddles of icy water, Naomi muttered a few
unflattering expletives, cursing the weather, the city of Philadelphia, but
mostly the asshole she’d been on the phone with earlier.

“Telling me to chill and check with my mother,” she groused,
startling an older woman close by. “I’m a full partner in our
travel agency, and if I tell someone our business relationship is in
jeopardy, they better believe it.”

She glanced at the low-hanging clouds. Great…more snow on the way.
Even her Colorado-tested winter jacket couldn’t hold its own against
the bitter wind.

After slipping on a patch of half-frozen slush, she forced herself to pay
attention to the seasonal hazards on the uneven sidewalks. She didn’t
even notice her favorite pub-style restaurant until she almost collided with
another pedestrian and looked up.

Inside the tavern, she saw Revan sitting at the bar, his eyes glued to the
beer bottle in his hands as if it held the secret to the Holy Grail. The
woman next to him flashed her pearly whites—and a few other
goodies—at him. Too bad he’s not even looking at you,
Blondie.

For a moment she watched Blondie’s lips going a million miles an hour
while Rev continued to gaze trancelike at the
 beer bottle.

He was not only one of her oldest and best friends,
but—unfortunately—the guy she’d been crushing on since
when her mother still braided her hair and he sported unflattering braces
and a face full of acne.

Her infatuation with him was no secret, either. Everyone in their group of
friends knew it.

All except—him.

Who told her last year that he loved her like a sister! Just thinking about
it made her blood boil.

Hah! Wasn’t it her sisterly duty to say hello, especially since she
hadn’t seen him since Christmas Eve?

On impulse, she entered the tavern and marched straight toward the bar, not
paying attention to the wet spots on the floor until she lost her footing.
Arms flailing, she barely managed to grab the back of Revan’s
chair.

“Nugget, what are you doing here?” He jumped up and circled his
arm around her. His eyes traveled to her boots and he grumbled, “What
are you wearing?”

She turned her foot left and right and said, “My new ankle boots,
aren’t they cute?” Who cared about the two-inch
heels—they’d look fabulous in the spring.

Then she patted his cheek, “But enough about me. I didn’t
expect to see you out and about. Don’t you have to polish your lenses
or something? Stella said you’re flying to the Middle East
soon.”

“You and your BFF spend too much time talking about other
people’s business. But yeah, I’m leaving the day after tomorrow.
Where are you off to?” He dropped his arm but remained standing close
to her. Close enough so she could smell his aftershave, and she was tempted
to take a deep sniff.

“I’m meeting Stella at the deli. But when I walked by and
spotted you, I felt the urge to wish you a safe trip.” She smiled
angelically at him. “Please come back in one piece! I don’t want
to have to fly around the world to collect your
bones—again.”

“What does she mean?” Blondie asked while puffing out her
chest. “Nothing, Barb, it’s an old story,” Revan said over
his shoulder, then looked back at Naomi. “How was Colorado? Did that
boyfriend of yours behave?”

“Let’s just say it reminded me why I’m more a summer than
a winter person. And aren’t you the sweetest to ask about Frank?
I’ll tell him you said hi, but now I’ve got to run and let you
get back to your company,” she smiled widely at the woman. What she
got back was a squint and another chest lift.

She kissed his cheek and said quietly, “Bye, Shutterbug, be careful.
It’s a wild world out there.”

Back on the street, Naomi glanced once more through the windows. Revan had
already resumed his silent conversation with the beer bottle.

What would it take for him to notice her?

And why did it still matter? She was thirty years old, had a boyfriend who
was fun to be with, and she should be happy about it. Should…
