Always Isn't Forever

Best friends and soul mates, Hart and Ruby were poised to take on senior year together when Hart tragically drowned in a boating accident. Absolutely shattered, Ruby struggles to move on from the person she knows was her forever love. Waking up in the afterlife, Hart finds himself stuck on Ruby, too. But "lucky" for him, the angel who's responsible for guiding his spirit made a mistake by allowing him to die too early, so he's offered a second chance. Only it won't be as simple as bringing him back to life-instead, Hart's soul is transferred to the body of local bad boy and football star, Jameson Romanelli. When Hart returns to town as Jameson, he realizes that winning Ruby back will be more challenging than he'd imagined, considering she thinks he's her mortal enemy, and whenever he tries to tell her the truth his words are garbled by the rules guiding this cosmic body swap. Even worse, more memories of his life as Hart fade each day he spends as Jameson. If he doesn't act quickly, he'll never be able to tell Ruby the truth. While Ruby is still struggling with grief, she can't deny that something is drawing her to Jameson. As much as she doesn't understand the sudden pull, it can't be ignored, and she begins to see a new side of him, one she's not sure she's ready to accept. And why does he remind her of Hart? Desperate to see if the link she feels is real, Ruby begins to open her heart to Jameson-but will their love be enough to bridge the distance between them? New York Times bestselling author J.C.
