All That We Never Were: An Emotional, Slow-Burn, Age-Gap New Adult Romance About Healing (Let It Be, 1)

She's drowning in silence. He refuses to let her sink. When grief leaves nineteen-year-old Leah Jones barely functioning, the last thing she expects is for her brother's best friend to become her lifeline. But Axel Nguyen isn't just offering a place to stay―he's offering her a way to survive. From international bestselling author Alice Kellen comes a deeply moving, slow-burn New Adult romance about loss, healing, and the love that changes everything. If you're looking for a romance that will wreck you and rebuild you, with characters who feel as real as your own heartbreaks, this is the one. Leah once had a future she believed in. Now, her world has collapsed. With her brother moving away and no one left to lean on, Axel steps in as the one person she never imagined would truly see her pain. Ten years older and used to building walls around his heart, Axel takes her in―not out of duty, but because watching her fade is more than he can bear. Living under the same roof tests their limits. The comfort they find in each other grows complicated. Lines blur. Hearts stir. And the one promise Axel made―to protect Leah―starts to mean something he never saw coming. Perfect for fans of Colleen Hoover, B. Celeste, and Anna Todd, this emotionally layered romance explores the quiet ache of grief, the resilience of the human spirit, and the slow, breathtaking journey toward love as two souls learn to breathe again―together.
