If We Were Perfect by Ana Huang (Paperback)

A heartfelt second chance romance about unfinished business, unexpected reunions, and discovering that love deserves another chance. When life forces two former lovers back under the same roof, old wounds resurface alongside feelings neither of them ever truly left behind.

Olivia has always planned every step of her future. Focused on building a successful career and achieving the life she’s worked so hard for, she isn’t prepared when an unexpected apartment flood leaves her with nowhere to stay. Her last resort is the one person she never imagined asking for help—her ex-boyfriend, Sammy.

Sammy has built a life around his bakery, his close-knit family, and the memories of a relationship he never completely moved on from. Agreeing to let Olivia stay with him seems like the right thing to do, even if sharing a home means confronting years of unresolved feelings and unanswered questions.

As they settle into an uneasy new routine, familiar chemistry begins to replace old resentment. Everyday moments, lingering attraction, and long-overdue conversations slowly reveal that the story of their breakup may not have been as straightforward as either of them believed. With pride, misunderstandings, and past regrets standing in their way, they must decide whether they’re willing to risk opening their hearts once more.

Warm, emotional, and filled with humour, this standalone romance explores forgiveness, personal growth, and the courage it takes to believe in love after heartbreak. It celebrates family, fresh starts, and the idea that sometimes the right person comes back into your life when you need them most.

Perfect for readers who enjoy second chance romance, forced proximity, roommates-to-lovers, emotional contemporary romance, and character-driven love stories with humour and heart.
