Old friends. Unfinished business. An opportunity to make it right.

Lily Mendes and Joshua Cohen were best friends who nearly became something more... until one fateful night pulled them apart.

Nineteen years later, Josh is a devoted son, loyal brother, and committed physician. He's not looking for love-just no-strings companionship. The only one he is interested in committing to is his rescue dog, Ginger.

Hundreds of miles away, Lily only wants to feel safe, enjoy her work at the hospital, and avoid triggering her overbearing mother. Dating isn't even on her radar-she can barely stand to be alone with herself, let alone someone else. But just before Yom Kippur, a series of unexpected events will lead her to reconsider everything... and Josh finds himself back in her life at exactly the wrong-or maybe the right-time.

Delayed Intention is a heartfelt story of friendship, forgiveness, and the possibility of a second chance.
