Downloading Too Late, Too Close

Mara Velasco returns to San Miguel with a simple plan: sell her parents' house and get out without looking back. Easy. But fate, that drama-obsessed screenwriter, has other plans. Because there's Lucía Ferrer: neighbor, unwitting muse, and the source of her sleepless nights. And there's also her headstrong daughter, ready to complicate everything. Between what was, what could have been, and what should never have happened, Mara will have to make a decision, because leaving no longer seems so easy, nor staying so foolish. * * * Time Didn't Save Us Coming back was never my plan, but now I'm just the right age to look back without hanging my head. She's still there. Her mouth, her hands, the same old danger in the way she looks at me, as if time didn't matter, as if I was never too young to feel what I felt. Too late to run, too close to resist. What if this time, instead of running away, I bite back my fear and stay. What if this time, we say nothing at all, just close the door and let happen what always wanted to happen.
