But coming home unearthed everything.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
