Kapricia built her world on faith, ambition, and the promise of a quiet, enduring love with Jason. But when the elegant façade of their life is ripped away by a devastating lie—a lie engineered by a trusted friend and rooted in betrayal—her foundation shatters, leaving her to face a future defined by unexpected heartbreak.

Jason, the man of honor and duty, struggles under the weight of his own shame. He compromised his values and lost the only woman he ever truly loved. Now, he must fight for a second chance, knowing his failures cut deeper than any apology.

Just as Kapricia begins the agonizing process of healing, the consequences of the past violently return. She is confronted with an impossible choice that demands a sacrifice far greater than simple forgiveness. This decision will force her to face not only Jason and her betrayer, but the limits of her own compassion.

Not This Time is a powerful, redemptive novel about the strength required to choose grace over bitterness. It’s a testament to the belief that some relationships are not broken by fire, but fortified, proving that the most extraordinary love is the one you must fight the hardest to earn—and the one that demands the ultimate act of faith.
