Returning to my small hometown was never part of the plan?but life has a way of forcing your hand. I?m Gavin Wells?wealthy, divorced, and carrying enough baggage to fill this tiny town. My father?s funeral should?ve been a quick in-and-out, but nothing about coming home is ever that simple. Especially when it means facing her. Lena Marshall?my brother?s widow, the girl I once loved, and the one I?ve never really let go. Seeing her again stirs up feelings we both thought we?d buried. But with the past comes secrets, and my family?s skeletons are clawing their way out, threatening to shatter Lena?s trust?and her heart?all over again. Walking away would be easier. Safer. But I?ve spent too long running from my demons. Now, I have to prove I?m not the man who runs, but the one who fights?for her, for us, and for the second chance we both deserve.
