Ten years apart. One chance encounter. And a love neither of them ever forgot.
Ashley thought she’d moved on—new city, new job, new life far from the small-town secrets and complicated friendships she left behind. But when she literally runs into Brandon—her first crush, her almost-everything—the past rushes back like it never left.
Their reunion stirs up memories of sleepovers, parties, and promises whispered at thirteen… including the one where they swore they’d marry if still single at thirty. Now thirty-two, Brandon isn’t letting her go again—and he’s ready to make good on that teenage vow.
But with rekindled feelings come old wounds and unfinished business. As Ashley reconnects with the friends she once called family, she must confront the question: can you ever really go home again… or do some friendships—and loves—just drift back when you need them most?
A nostalgic, emotional second-chance romance about love, growth, and the kind of friendships that shape us forever.
Parental discretion is advised due to mature themes.
Genre: Romance
