Publisher Description:

Falsely accused. Relentlessly bullied. Emotionally wrecked.

Eighteen-year-old Everly Davis was shattered by a scandal she doesn’t remember. Blamed for the fallout of a party gone wrong, she became the town pariah overnight. With her reputation in ruins and no one left to trust, she deletes her past and disappears into the quiet town of Blue Lake to start over.

She doesn’t expect to crash—literally—into Julian McKay, a guarded 21-year-old haunted by the loss of his high school girlfriend. He keeps to himself, burying his pain in routine and silence. He doesn’t believe he deserves a second chance at anything—especially not love.

Thrown together, Everly and Julian begin to see through each other’s walls. Their connection is undeniable, their chemistry electric, but neither is ready for what it means to let someone in. Just as they start to heal, the past Everly tried to escape resurfaces—and this time, it wants to finish what it started.

Moving on sometimes means facing what you ran from. Can they face it together? Or will it tear them apart?

A slow-burn, emotional romance about grief, redemption, and the power of unexpected love. Perfect for fans of small town settings, broken-but-healing characters, forbidden attraction, and second chances that shouldn’t work—but just might.
