New Memories

My ex cheated. His older brother had a spare room.At twenty-one, I have a semester to finish, a photography portfolio to build, and a budget that leaves very little room for another mistake.

Moving in with Callum Mercer gives me an address I can afford. It also keeps me far too close to the family I was trying to leave behind.Callum is quietly funny, distractingly handsome, and careful with the things I usually have to ask people to respect. We have separate bedrooms. A rental agreement. Plenty of reasons to keep our hands to ourselves.I buy a blue notebook and call it New Memories. Breakfast I actually like. An evening I choose for myself. A photograph I want to keep.Somewhere between late studio shifts, burned toast, and conversations that last longer than either of us intended, Callum starts appearing in the plans I make for next week. Then we kiss, and sharing a kitchen becomes the least complicated thing between us.His family still expects him to put his brother first. I am trying to stop making myself smaller whenever someone else feels uncomfortable.Now I have a portfolio deadline, feelings I cannot pack away, and a question Callum will have to answer: when loving me unsettles his family, will he still choose us?New Memories is a slow-burn, roommates-to-lovers romance about starting over after betrayal, falling for your ex-boyfriend's brother, and learning what it costs to love someone openly.Read New Memories and begin Tessa and Callum's story today.Book One of the Haxon Hearts trilogy.
