Perfect for you if...

  • You love small-town romance where the setting is as complicated as the relationship itself.
  • You're drawn to stories about people trying to break family cycles and build something better.
  • You enjoy contemporary romance that takes emotional risks without shying away from why couples split in the first place.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer romance where the couple's obstacles are external rather than rooted in their own incompatibility.
  • You're looking for a quick, low-stakes read. This one digs into family trauma and unresolved grief.
  • You want your endings neatly tied up. This explores messy, ongoing work.

About this book

Mack Finley left his Tennessee hometown with purpose, but he always expected that deep problems within the Finley family would eventually bring him back. He did not anticipate reconnecting with an old flame upon his return, a combination that leaves him unsettled. Nina Spencer never forgot Mack, though she accepted that they wanted different things from life. Now facing the collapse of the life she has built, she finds it difficult to resist both Mack and the pull of their shared past. When she encounters Mack's complicated family again, she remembers clearly why her relationship with Mack ended the first time. As hidden secrets emerge and new pressures mount, both Mack and Nina must confront what it means to be a family.
