USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR Claudia Burgoa pens an emotional, heartbreaking romance duet where soulmates can't be together and everything around them tears them apart.

I found it (him) at the bookstore.

Love.

He was six foot four, lanky, blue-eyed.

Jacob Decker was goofy, handsome, and cheesy.

There's no better way to describe him.

But what can I expect of an eighteen-year-old boy who's lived under a rock all his life?

I'll let you into a little secret.

I had no idea what to expect.

We were each other's first everything.

But the fantasy lasted only a semester.

Soon I had to move away.

A few years later, he was a rockstar, and I was...

Grasping for a lifeline.

The problem with first loves is that they never leave you.

But they never come back, do they?

Almost Strangers is the first novel in the Somehow Everlasting duet, a Decker Family Novel. This book ends on a cliffhanger that'll change everything...

The Somehow Everlasting Duet is based on Jacob Decker and Pria Walker's story. Part of this duet was released as Uncharted.
