Elena Whitaker had a plan: a family, a future, a life she could trust.
All of it vanished the night she learned the truth about her husband's betrayal.
So she ran—back to her hometown, back to the version of herself she’d forgotten, back to something that didn’t hurt to hold.
Three years later, she has found a new rhythm.
A small-town clinic she’s poured herself into.
A quiet home that finally feels like hers.
And a heart that’s learning—slowly, carefully—that love doesn’t always have to hurt.
Then Matt Reeves returns… carrying the weight of a mother who’s slipping away and the regret of every moment he can’t rewrite.
Millbrook is small. Memories are loud. And the past has a way of finding the cracks you thought you sealed.
For readers who crave:
• Heartache that lingers
• Love that refuses to behave
• Small-town gravity
• The impossible choice between who you were… and who you’ve become
Some lives break apart.
Some lives rebuild.
And some cross paths again when the heart is ready.
