Without Me is the companion novel to Without You. It can be read as a standalone.

Sara: 
I've been in love with my best friend, Graham, for six years. The only problem is, he doesn't know it. 
I've done everything to live the life I've wanted for myself. Get out of the small town I grew up in, graduate college with an art degree, and become assistant to one of Dallas' most prominent artists. 
But despite my small successes, I still feel an empty hole burning inside me. A desire for the one man who always manages to leave me breathless. 
Maybe it was time to tell Graham how I felt.
But how can I tell my best friend I love him when a chance encounter from the past continues to haunt me, threatening to destroy everything?

Graham:
I've been in love with Sara for as long as I can remember. Regardless of my insatiable need to keep her close, I haven't been able to tell her.
Why? Because she deserves someone better, someone who could lay the world at her feet. 
Instead, I'm a man filled with a life of regret and who can only promise her an unstable future. 
But when an opportunity with the Dallas Museum of Art comes my way, I can’t help but wonder if this is it: The way to finally make her mine. A chance to tell her how I feel and show her the kind of man I could be. I'm just hoping after six years of keeping my love a secret, there aren't others standing between us and the perfect life I've dreamed of.

I've lived the perfect life. And as if it couldn't get any better, I'm about to graduate from Brown University, all with my flawless, hot as hell girlfriend by my side. I’d say I’m lucky to have Lena, but really, she’s lucky to have me. I would do anything to keep her by my side. Anything. Because as everyone knows, Julian Price hates to lose.
