Delayed Intention

Can two people find love who aren’t even looking for it?

Lily Mendes has countless memories of her childhood, most of which she’d just as soon forget. The turning point of her life was the summer of 2005. Among other things, that was when she shared a kiss with her childhood best friend, Josh Levi. It was also the year that life shattered them both, leaving scars they’ve carried into adulthood. After that fateful summer, they drifted apart...until now.

Fast-forward nearly two decades, and Joshua Levi is a successful doctor living in the most beautiful part of the country. He has his best friend, Ginger, his rescued pit-mix. Besides his family, he has everything he needs. He goes out on the occasional date but has no interest in being tied down.

A series of events bring Lily and Josh back into each other’s lives. As they navigate what it means to be reconnected, they find that trying to learn to be friends again is complicated by a growing chemistry. Lily and Josh must decide: Will the past define them, or is there a chance for something new to evolve?
