All That Glitters

Some hearts shine in the spotlight. Others glow quietly in the shadows. Candace Monteith thought she had it all figured out. A stable job, loyal friends, and now—Trey Gainsborough: the handsome, successful lawyer who seemed like the dream she’d been waiting for. But perfection is rarely what it seems. Trey never wants to go anywhere, never takes her out, and keeps their relationship tucked behind closed doors. At first, Candace brushes it off. Then, frustration starts to build. Meanwhile, her best friend Brad—goofy, honest, and always a constant in her life—is slipping away. Ever since he started seeing someone new, their friendship has felt...different. He’s distant. Short with her. Not himself. And that bothers her more than she wants to admit. As Candace navigates the blurry lines between love, friendship, and self-worth, she begins to question what she’s really looking for—and who’s truly been by her side all along. Witty, warm, and heartbreakingly real, All That Glitters is a story about letting go of illusions, embracing unexpected love, and realizing that sometimes, the person you’ve been searching for has been right there the whole time.
