Six years ago, Blanchard Collins packed her bags, boarded a bus to Houston, and never looked back. She left behind her abusive father, the town that never forgave her for speaking her mind, and Rueben Bailey, the boy who broke her heart the night before they were supposed to run away together. Now twenty-four, Blanchard returns home with her five-year-old daughter, Willow, and a dying mother who's asked for one final thing-her presence. But coming home means facing the ghosts she thought she'd buried, including the man she's never truly stopped loving. Rueben "Benny" Bailey did what his family expected. Stayed, took over the farm, and proposed to the girl everyone said was right for him. But when Blanchard walks back into church with a little girl who looks just like him, everything he's built starts to fall apart.

Ashley Richards was betrayed by the people meant to protect her. By a sister who smiled while destroying her. By a family that chose comfort over truth. By the man she loved, who didn't believe her when it mattered most. She lost everything. Her freedom. Her body. Her future. Then she was reborn. Eighteen again. Back in the house that never loved her. Back with the sister who ruined her. Back with a mother who never loved her. Back with the father who chose comfort over truth. Reborn into the same life, Ashley refuses to play the obedient daughter again. This time, she watches. She remembers. She plans.

They had loved for thirty years, or so she thought. One night, that love was shattered; betrayed, humiliated, and tested beyond endurance. She endured silently, carrying her pain alone, shielding her children from the truth. And he... he begged for her forgiveness, only to realize too late the depth of what he had lost.

After losing her father, Alexis Stevenson inherits a crumbling seaside cottage, the home her parents once dreamed of growing old in together. Unsure if she's meant to restore it or leave it behind, Alexis finds herself in a small coastal town... and face to face with Nate Callahan, the guarded single father next door. As she rebuilds the house, and perhaps herself, Alexis discovers that sometimes the most unexpected places, and people, can help you heal.

She forgot him. But he never forgot her. And now that he's found her again-he won't let go. Rosalie Hayes rebuilt her life from the ashes-now a rising star in international law, she's far from the broken girl she used to be. Her past is buried, her memories locked away. But the past has a name. Ryder Black. The man she once knew in the dark. The boy with bruised knuckles and a burning soul who promised her forever-before she disappeared without a word. Now, he's back. But she belongs to someone else now-on paper. Ryder doesn't care. She was his before she knew it. And she'll be his again, even if he has to unravel her entire world to remind her. And he'll do anything to bring it all back. She belongs to him. She always did. "You don't remember, do you?" Ryder murmured, his voice silk over steel as he stepped into her space. "The nights. The promises. What you begged me for." Rosalie's throat tightened. Her back met the hotel room wall with a soft thud. Her fingers curled at her sides. "I don't know what you're talking about." His smirk was slow, dark, devastating. "Your body does." One hand slid to her waist, firm and possessive. "Tell me to stop," he whispered, his lips a whisper from hers. But she didn't. Couldn't. And when he kissed her-God, when he took her mouth-it was like waking a sleeping beast inside her. A kiss that wasn't a kiss at all but a claim. Ryder kissed like a man picking up where he left off. As if the years between them had only been seconds. And Rosalie knew something terrifying in that moment: A part of her remembered. And it wanted more.

They were college sweethearts, the kind of love that felt unbreakable. But when betrayal ruins their marriage, Stella is left standing between the past and the unknown. Will first love survive the wreckage... or is she meant to find someone new?
