Coming home wasn't part of the plan, but neither was falling for him… again.
Hannah Murphy hasn't come back to Oak Harbor for closure.
She's back because her love life imploded, her bank account flatlined, and her family throws parties with enough drama to rival a season finale.
The last thing she expects is to see him again. Lucas Wade. Her first love. And the guy who didn't show up when it counted.
Lucas has spent the last fifteen years telling himself a version of the story where he didn't screw up.
No matter how many times he's rewritten the ending, he's never found anyone who makes him feel the way Hannah did.
Now she's back in a house full of siblings, nieces, nephews, and two oversized Huskies who think they're lap dogs.
And Lucas? He's about to learn that second chances aren't given.
They're earned.
This is a slow-burn, second-chance romance filled with emotional reckoning, family chaos, and the kind of steamy chemistry that crackles on the page.
It's about missed chances, messy reunions, and the courage it takes to choose love again.
