Coming Back to You

By Liz Durano

She built a life around staying. He became a man worth coming back.

Lucia Garrido has given everything to Rancho Luna Dorada - the historic Orange County resort her family has tended for generations. At fifty-two, she's the one who preserved its legacy, trained her daughter to carry it forward, and learned to stop wanting things she couldn't have. She's good at that.

Then a long-lost family painting arrives from New York, donated anonymously. And behind it walks Hiroyuki Asato - her first love, gone thirty years - the foreman's son her parents sent away before she ever got the chance to say goodbye.

Hiro didn't come back to reopen old wounds. He came back because the painting belonged to Luna Dorada. Because he's spent thirty years becoming a man with no more excuses. And because some things, carved into the bark of an orange grove tree, don't fade.

Coming Back to You is a later-in-life second chance romance about two people who chose responsibility over desire - and what happens when desire refuses to stay buried.

Warm, grounded, and genuinely sensual. For readers who know that the best love stories don't always start young.
