Can love find its way back after nine years apart?
Madeline Carter thought she had moved on. Leaving Seabrook was supposed to be the start of something bigger-a career, a future, a life beyond the small town she once called home. But when she returns to help her mother, she finds herself face-to-face with James Whitmore, the man she left behind.
Only now, James isn't just the boy she once loved. He's a father. A widower. A man who built a life without her.
As old feelings resurface and unspoken regrets come to light, Madeline must decide-will she walk away again, or will she fight for the love she never truly let go?
A heartwarming, emotional second-chance romance perfect for fans of small-town love stories, slow-burn chemistry, and finding home where you least expect it.
