Dahlia thought leaving her fast-paced life behind would quiet the ache she carried for years. Rebuilding an old inn in the Sierra foothills was meant to be her fresh start, a place where peace could take root and the past could no longer reach her.
When her family arrives for a carefully planned weekend, the sanctuary she'd built begins to crack. Old patterns resurface, and beneath her father's anger lies the wound that shaped Dahlia's deepest fear: that she will never be enough.
As tensions rise-a budding romance offering the promise of something meaningful-Dahlia is pulled in different directions. She must decide what she owes to the family she was born into and what she owes the woman she is becoming.
