June Anderson was two days away from starting her life with Kieran... when she found him in bed with her sister.
After nearly a decade of waiting through deployments, missed holidays, and stolen weeks together, Kieran was finally coming home for good.
Or so she thought.
Instead, he lied about his return, betrayed her with the one person who should have been off-limits, and disappeared back into the army rather than face what he’d done.
June never forgave him.
Six years later, Kieran is back.
His army career is almost over. His knee is wrecked. And the town he abandoned is the only place he has left to go.
June has spent those six years building a life without him—a successful restaurant, a home of her own, and walls high enough to keep the past exactly where it belongs.
But Kieran isn’t trying to win her back.
He doesn’t ask for forgiveness.
He doesn’t make excuses.
He just starts showing up.
For her struggling younger brother.
For the family he hurt.
For the town he once ran from.
And the more June sees the man he has become, the harder it is to hate him as completely as she wants to.
Because forgiving Kieran would be dangerous.
Wanting him again would be worse.
Perfect for readers who love:
• Betrayal with real consequences
• Second chances that have to be earned
• A strong heroine who makes him work for it
• Small-town romance, family drama, and slow-burn tension
Sometimes the past comes back before you’re ready to face it.
