Blurb:

Shana

The cold steel dug into my wrists, and I shivered.

Not just from the cold, but from the raw memory of laughter echoing in my head from a pretty pink princess with Goldilocks who skipped past me.

Was she real?

I didn’t know.

Only that my head throbbed in time with the siren, and everything felt both too loud and muffled, as if my world were wrapped in cling film, too tight to see.

But in every inhale, I could taste the salty breeze that I knew was my old hometown, Mystic Harbor.

I was back shadowing memories.

Shadowing pain.

Shadowing Jackson.

But nothing prepared me for seeing Nathan Donleavy.

For a split second, I remembered happier times and ached for the way we used to fit together.

But regret twisted in my chest, and shame pressed in heavy, as I was forced to meet his icy stare as he flashed his badge.

It reminded me of all the mistakes I made, and there were plenty.

But only Nathan could make me mourn the woman I once was

Mourn the love we once shared.

And now I was back here, stirring up feelings from the past.

Could I ever find myself again?

If I did, would he find me?


Nathan

Shana Callahan was the one who got away.

She was the last person I expected to see when I showed up to a call.

The vibrant, beautiful girl I had fallen for years ago had been replaced by someone I barely recognized.

Her eyes, once bright with laughter, now looked tired and guarded.

Shadows lingered beneath them, her posture taut, like she was bracing herself against the world.

Even her smile carried the weight of memories.

She hadn’t been the same since her brother died.

I still haven’t gotten over the pain of losing her or the ache of wanting to protect her.

To fix what’s broken inside of her

But I had a job to do, and I wasn’t sure which emotion would win.

My duty, or the stubborn pull of the woman who crushed my heart in her hands.

BLURB

Camden

The day she left town was the day I changed. Maren Holm walked away without so much as a glance back, taking my heart with her. Everything we had talked about, planned for, the life I thought we both wanted together, just vanished, leaving me alone and miserable. That’s when old Camden was replaced with the fun-loving, carefree guy I am today.

Then, out of the blue, she returned.

My new next-door neighbor and I have a past, and it’s one I don’t want to dredge up. The problem is she has a son. The cutest three-year-old boy, who pulls at the strings of my damaged heart and refuses to let go. Together, they make me want…more.

But I just don’t know if I’m capable of giving her my heart a second time.

Maren

Returning to Cooper Town was exactly what I needed. I wanted my son, Theo, to experience all the perks of small-town living. With the help of my dad, I found the perfect location to start over. Except, my new neighbor and I have a history. A very painful one, and even though I knew I’d likely run into him again, I never expected it to be in my own driveway.

Suddenly, my past is standing directly in front of me again.

He’s still angry, not that I blame him. I walked away from him, from the life we both wanted. It wasn’t easy or right, but I had my reasons. Now, being around him is stirring up old feelings, especially when I see him with my son. Their bond is instant, and before I know it, I’m being drawn right back in to the Camden I used to know and love.

Only this time, it’s not just my heart I’m risking, but Theo’s too.
