Finally Loved
By Jacqueline Ramsden
Can you meet The One in the middle of being dumped?
Neve thought she’d finally found someone who would love her, but here she is, getting dumped again. Perhaps it would be less embarrassing if it were happening in private—and with words she hadn’t heard time and time again. Or, perhaps she’s destined to never find real love. At least, that’s how it feels until she runs directly into her very own knight in shining armor.
Alba is perfectly happy dating, but nothing seems to stick. It seems every one of her friends knows her type, but something is always missing. However, when she collides with Neve, the challenge is on to try not falling for someone who is both exactly her type and one of the most wonderful people she’s ever met.
As the pair get closer, Neve’s life as she knows it falls apart, but Alba is there to help pick up the pieces. With interfering friends, the fear of never finding love, and Neve attempting to navigate the complications of dating while ace, will the two take a risk on what’s growing between them, or ignore it to preserve the friendship neither wants to lose?
Finally Loved is a slow burn romance featuring only one bed, found family, and an ace-allo romance with communication around intimacy and boundaries. Content warnings for toxic friends, friendship breakup, romantic breakup (not main couple), discussions of past pressure around intimacy, and reference to an off-screen toxic family with no contact.
