From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Carrie Ann Ryan comes a sexy new contemporary stand-alone series.Hazel Noble has survived horrors she wouldn’t inflict on her worst enemy. Since then, she’s healed, found herself, and connected with a group of women she’s proud to call her friends. However, when they make a pact to start looking for love, Hazel finds herself not only up first … not only up first but also forced to face a past she thought she’d escaped.
Cross Brady has no need for a relationship. As the oldest of five, he’s always been the one his family can rely on. Now, all he wants is to work in peace and live his life. His priorities shift dramatically, though, when Cross finds himself in Hazel’s path.
Though the two initially fight their connection, they soon learn that it’s safer to fall for each other than keep running from what’s holding them back—not to mention, who wants them dead.

Loved how the story unfolds, with them both leArning to just be!
Forever Only Once grabbed me right from the start and didn’t let go. What a great story! Cross and Hazel are a couple that are meant to be and they take us on an incredible journey. I loved it!
Hazel and Cross. Cross and Hazel. I can’t even express how much they drew me in, how unbelievably perfect they were together, how gorgeous and breathtaking their story was. It started with a mistake, it ended with love, because, as the title suggests, you do get that forever only once for these two, even if they overcame quite a bit to get there. Quiet and cautious, Hazel and Cross were intuitive about each other, and that kind of understanding was needed. It was given without judgment or impatience, things happened as they should and when they should. I loved them, I loved their story, I loved the calm they were to each other in the storm of life
