Some loves deserve a second chance. Some women deserve a safe place to land.

Ava Monroe did everything right—the marriage, the home, the life everyone envied. But behind the perfect façade, something was breaking. Now she's fled across state lines with her daughter Zoe, escaping a husband whose obsession turned dangerous.

She never expected to come back to Beaufort. And she definitely never expected to find Noah Sinclair still here—the man who loved her enough to let her go all those years ago.

Noah isn't the same boy who watched her marry someone else. Ava isn't the same woman who walked away. But when danger follows her south and buried memories begin to surface, Ava must decide if she can trust again—and whether the love she left behind has the power to save her.

A sweeping Southern love story about second chances, fierce motherhood, and the kind of love that refuses to let go.

Perfect for fans of Nicholas Sparks, Colleen Hoover, Elin Hilderbran, Mary Alice Monroe and Kristy Woodson Harvey.
