He left town in disgrace. She stayed and built her life on grace. Now their worlds are about to collide.

Leah Brooks, the head of the church’s volunteer board, remembers Aaron from before. Wild. Reckless. Charming. The kind of boy girls like her were warned about. But time changes people, and Leah can’t help but notice the quiet regret behind Aaron’s eyes.
