I’d be her friend and then press for more. Because now that she was back in Montana, I wasn’t letting her go. I’d play it slow and steady. Put in the time. But one day she’d be mine. Just like she was always meant to be.

I had spent far too long learning to guard my heart. I was a master at pretending I was fine on my own. I was famous for striking back with attitude whenever I felt pain. And I had become an expert at leaving others before they could leave me.

🧡 Sixteen years ago the love of Silas’ life ran away from him — and their town — as soon as he declared his feelings. Felicity’s ex boyfriend passed and she knows it’s time to stop running and make amends with the people she left behind. Can they risk a second chance when neither knows the other’s feelings? 
🧡 Well established secondary characters: Gigi & Jess (Book 1), Nick & Emmeline (Book 2), Sabrina, Beau (Book 4), Maisy (Book 5).
🧡 MC growth: Family expectations, trust, forgiveness, guilt, communication, self worth, career aspirations.
🧡 Epilogue
