At forty-eight years old, Lila Simmons has spent years holding her life together by sheer force of will.After a painful divorce shattered the carefully controlled world she built, the last thing she wants is to return to Salt Flower Bay—the small Florida beach town she spent thirty years trying to escape.
But when her estranged mother dies unexpectedly, Lila has no choice but to go home.
Her plan is simple:
Settle the estate.
Clean out the house.
Leave before the past has a chance to pull her under again.
Instead, Salt Flower Bay slowly begins unraveling everything she thought she knew about her life.
The quiet beach cottage she planned to sell starts feeling like the first place she’s truly been able to breathe in years.
The town she once resented begins feeling strangely like home.
And Wade Rollins—the man she never completely forgot—is suddenly everywhere. Older now. Steady. Quiet. Safe in all the ways her marriage never was.
Being around him reminds Lila of the woman she used to be before heartbreak and disappointment taught her to stop wanting too much from life.
But the deeper Lila digs through her mother’s belongings, the more she realizes Salt Flower Bay is built on secrets no one ever meant for her to uncover.
Because some loves never stop waiting.
And some secrets change everything.
