I never planned on coming back. Not until my grandmother passed, leaving behind the cottage where I learned how to breathe. Now I’m back to pack up the pieces. But Jake Morgan is still here.

Eight years ago, I left Harbor Hill without a goodbye—just a suitcase, a dream, and a heart full of fear. I never planned on coming back. Not until my grandmother passed, leaving behind the cottage where I learned how to breathe. Now I’m back to pack up the pieces. But Jake Morgan is still here. The boy I loved. The man I left behind. He’s not just older—he’s sharper, stronger, and staring at me like I’m a storm he survived but never forgot. The house isn’t the only thing with cracks. The memories are everywhere. The kisses. The letters I never answered. The version of us we left unfinished. Fixing what’s broken won’t be easy. And when I’m offered everything I thought I wanted, I’ll have to face the truth I’ve been running from. Some loves don’t fade. Some towns don’t forget. And some goodbyes don’t stick. less
