It's Only Ever Been You

By L.S. Phoenix

Best friends since childhood, Ethan and Emma have shared everything—secrets, dreams, and unshakable loyalty. But as they grow older, the lines between friendship and something more blur, leaving them both hesitant to risk the bond they hold so dear.

When an unexpected kiss at a party changes everything, they’re forced to confront feelings they’ve long buried. But the path to love is anything but smooth. Misunderstandings, heartbreak, and life-changing decisions threaten to pull them apart just as they begin to realize they might be each other’s forever.

From the innocence of first crushes to the fiery passion of adulthood, this is a story of slow-burning love, heartbreak, and the unyielding strength it takes to fight for what matters most. Will Ethan and Emma find the courage to take a leap of faith, or will their fears keep them from the love they were always meant to have?

Perfect for fans of emotional, slow-burn romance with a touch of angst, It’s Only Ever Been You is a poignant tale of love, second chances, and finding home in each other.

L.S. Phoenix lives in a small town in New England. She's been with her high school sweetheart since she was 16, married in their mid 20’s and have 3 amazing children who are now the best well rounded adults she knows. They keep her on my toes and bring endless joy to her life. She's not sure where she would be without any of them in her life.  Now, here's how she ended up in the world of writing. She's an avid reader herself and one day as she was reading a book she thought, hmm, I can do this. She used to write when she was in school and she always loved it. She's a very creative person, sometimes too creative. Is that a thing? Anyway, an idea pops into her head, and it gets stuck and won't go away until she write it all down. Then it just spiraled from there and she kept writing. So yeah, she dove headfirst into a sea of words and emotions, all because her brain just wouldn't let it go, and she's completely okay with that! She loves writing!

She's all about soaking in the beauty of the world and finding inspiration around her. Each character she creates, every twist she writes, is a reflection of the journey we call life. So she hopes you’ll join her on this ride. She can't wait to share her stories and characters with you.
