Abbey Selbey thought she met the love of her life when she was five years old—clearly, she was wrong. He broke her heart seventeen years ago, and yet it’s clear she hasn’t truly moved on. Living in the small town where they grew up—where everyone thinks they know their story—doesn’t help. He left and never looked back. It’s been almost two decades—it’s time to move on.

Jude Murphy never wanted things to happen the way they did. If he’d been smarter, he never would have left Ashford Falls or Abbey, but sometimes life has other ideas. Staying away was in the best interest of everyone, even if it was the last thing he wanted. 

Returning to town wasn’t part of the plan, especially with Abbey still living there, but just like life tore him away from everything he loved most, it was determined to bring him back. Is it possible to forgive the past and move forward, or is the damage too far gone?
