She loved him for sixteen years. He only realized it after she was gone.
Josie Bennett has spent most of her life loving Sawyer Calloway in silence.
He was her best friend. Her safe place. The boy who brought her soup in a snowstorm, fixed every broken thing in her apartment, and became so woven into her life that she forgot how to imagine a future without him.
But Sawyer never saw her that way.
At least, that’s what Josie learns when she overhears him telling his new girlfriend that Josie is basically his sister. Or one of the guys. Nothing more.
Humiliated and heartbroken, Josie does the only thing she can. She leaves.
New city. New job. New number. New life.
Six months later, Sawyer shows up in the middle of it, desperate, regretful, and finally ready to say all the things he should have said years ago.
But some wounds do not heal just because the person who made them is sorry.
And if Sawyer wants Josie back, he’ll have to do more than tell her he finally sees her.
He’ll have to prove she was never invisible at all.
When He Didn’t Know is an emotional friends-to-lovers grovel romance featuring years of unrequited love, a heartbroken heroine who walks away, a hero who has to earn his second chance, and the kind of confession that comes almost too late.
