She thought leaving was the hardest decision she’d ever made. Coming home might prove her wrong.
Val Reeser never expected to return to Glen Falls. Not after the pain of realizing she would never fit into Tate Carver’s privileged world. Not after walking away from her family, knowing they’d never understand why she left. And certainly not after keeping the biggest secret of her life-Tate’s daughter.
But when circumstances force her back, Val has no choice but to face the past. And in doing so, she unknowingly shatters Tate’s carefully built future-his engagement to her former best friend.
Tate has spent years convincing himself that Val was part of his past. But the moment she steps back into his life-with a daughter who shares his eyes-everything unravels. The plans. The expectations. The engagement that suddenly means nothing.
Now, with family tensions rising, and old emotions rekindling, Val and Tate must figure out how to raise their daughter together. But when old wounds threaten to reopen, and the past refuses to stay buried, they’ll have to decide if the love they once had is worth fighting for-or if too much damage has already been done.
For fans of heart-tugging, sweet small-town romance with deep family drama, this is a love story about second chances, forgiveness, and the family you fight for.
