She came back to heal. She never expected to find him still there. Elara Quinn left Maplewood at eighteen with a broken heart and a one-way ticket out. Seven years later, she returns to her quiet hometown — not for love, but to piece herself back together after a life that fell apart in the city. She just wants peace. Wildflower walks. A fresh start. What she doesn't want is to find Caleb Harmon — her first love, her first heartbreak — still living three houses down, looking at her like no time has passed at all. Caleb never forgot her. Never stopped wondering why she left without a word. Now she's back, quieter than he remembered, carrying shadows she won't talk about — and he's determined to understand the woman she's become. But second chances are fragile things. And some wounds, no matter how beautiful the scar, take time to trust again. Can two people who lost each other find their way back — or will the secrets between them break what little remains?
