Summary
Two broken hearts. Four years apart. One chance to choose again.

Hannah has built her dream career, planning other people's happy ever afters - with no hope of her own. Not since that day four years ago; the one she never talks about.

Jude is getting on a plane for the first time in four years. He's not happy about it, but at least he'll be back in Sydney before too long - safe from the things he'd prefer to forget.

But when Hannah's twin and Jude's brother make a shock announcement, and appoint a certain wedding planner, the summer stretching ahead of them suddenly looks a whole lot different...

As they're thrown back together, is it possible that first love could get a second chance?

From bestselling author of The Spare Room comes this summer's must-read second-chance romance, with characters you won't want to leave. Smart, sizzling and funny, All You Had To Do Was Stay is perfect for fans of Emily Henry, Laura Wood and Portia MacIntosh.
