What if your first love was also your biggest regret?
Ten years ago, Lena Hart walked away without a goodbye-leaving behind a broken promise... and the only woman she ever truly loved.
Now she's back.
Returning to her quiet coastal hometown after a failed life in the city, Lena hopes for a fresh start. But some things never fade-especially Ava Collins, the woman she left behind.
Ava has spent years rebuilding her life from heartbreak. Strong, independent, and guarded, she's created a world where love can't hurt her again.
Until Lena returns.
When a sudden storm threatens everything Ava has built, Lena steps in to help. Working side by side forces them to confront the past they tried to bury:
Because Lena didn't leave by choice...
And the reason she stayed away might break them all over again.
Now, faced with a second chance they never expected, they must decide:
Can they risk falling in love again?
Or will the past destroy what little they have left?
