A story of second chances, “Nothing But This
Their story began when they were still children. Though not childhood sweethearts, Libby and Greyson had always had their eyes on each other. It was a complicated relationship.
First, Greyson was several years older than Libby; and when they were very young, those several years felt like a lifetime. Second and more important, Libby’s parents worked for the Chapmans.
Though Greyson was not a snob, if he showed any interest to Libby, it could easily be misconstrued that he was taking advantage of her.
Things changed when they grew up and met in London. All of a sudden, they were on equal footing. A whirlwind courtship was followed by a wedding and an unexpected pregnancy. Libby and Greyson should have been on top of the world.
But, that was not the case. Greyson claimed he was sterile and accused Libby of infidelity. Hurt and feeling abandoned, Libby left their marital home and moved outside of Cape Town to a small town 6 hours away by car.
Together with her friend Tina, Libby began a new life. But, one morning, she found Greyson on her doorstep. Will their long history keep them together or will it keep them apart?
“Nothing But This
Though it was not explicitly mentioned, I think of these two books as a duet, the story of the Chapman twins Harris and Greyson. They should be read in tandem, i.e., I highly recommend that you read both books.
“More Than Anything,” the story of Harris and Tina was published first and logically, it should be read first. After reading “Nothing But This,” I realized that like the characters, the books are twins. Both are standalone novels. Still, to get the full enjoyment, you have to read both.

Summary
It’s always been complicated between Libby Lawson and Greyson Chapman—and married life isn’t any simpler. But when Libby gets pregnant, she at last sees a bright future ahead. There’s just one problem: Greyson says he’s sterile.
Furious, Greyson abandons the young family. Equally furious and deeply hurt, Libby cuts all ties with him. After all these years, it seems their relationship has finally expired. But love is resilient and endures even when you don’t want it to. Greyson still longs for Libby, and though Libby’s heartbroken by Greyson’s lack of trust, she holds out hope for a complete, happy family.
And so they embark on the journey back to each other, wary of all the obstacles between them. It’s been a long road already—one strewed with fear, doubt, and misunderstandings. Will they keep looking to the past, or will they look to each other and walk hand in hand toward a broad new horizon?
