When Sloane McKenna built her career as one of New York's most sought-after celebrity stylists, she did it the hard way-no shortcuts, no handouts, and no one to catch her if she fell. Control has always been her safety net. It's how she survives. So when she lands her first feature film as Costume Designer on a production in South Grove, North Carolina, it should be everything she's worked for. It would be-if the man running the film wasn't the one she never forgot. Three years ago, Gavin Buxburry was just a stranger at a wedding. One night. No expectations. Now he's the acting head of a billion-dollar studio... and pretending like they've never met. Gavin has no room for mistakes. With the weight of his family's company on his shoulders, everything-and everyone-must remain exactly where it belongs. Including Sloane. But long days on set and even longer nights make distance impossible, and the tension between them begins to shift into something far more dangerous than either of them planned. Because Sloane didn't build her life by depending on anyone. And Gavin doesn't let people get close enough to matter. Not until staying away becomes harder than giving in.

She came to South Grove to disappear. He never expected she'd be the one thing he couldn't ignore. After fleeing an abusive marriage, Lily Carrington has reinvented herself in the quiet beach town of South Grove, North Carolina. With a new name, now Ellery Townsend, a secluded cottage by the ocean, and a dream of opening her own bakery, she's determined to build a life that's finally hers. No past. No lies. No one looking too closely. Cash Connolly is a grumpy, guarded CPA with no patience for complications-and no shortage of women trying to change his mind. But when a quiet, stubborn baker walks into his office needing help with her books and pretending she knows what a profit and loss statement is, she throws off his rhythm in all the wrong ways. And maybe all the right ones. But Ellery's past isn't finished with her. As sparks fly and trust builds, the truth she's worked so hard to bury comes back with a vengeance. And when the man she thought she escaped finally finds her, it will take everything-including the one person she never expected-to protect the life she's just begun to believe she deserves.

Josette Wilde never imagined her happy ending would start with her house burning down. Once a hopeless romantic who believed in grand gestures and cinematic kisses, Jo learned the hard way that real life rarely follows a script. When the man she thought was her forever walked out the moment she told him she was pregnant, Jo was left to rewrite her story-this time as a single mother to a fearless little girl named Hannah. Years later, just as Jo lands the kind of job that could finally give them the life they deserve, disaster strikes-her home is destroyed in a freak accident, leaving her and Hannah with nothing but each other. With no place to go, Jo turns to the last person she ever expected to lean on: Mitchell Harris, her charming, fiercely protective childhood friend. He offers them a place to stay, and Jo accepts-grateful, but uneasy. She's been secretly crushing on him for the last couple of years, and living under the same roof only blurs the lines she's fought for years to keep in place. As Jo and Mitchell fall into an unexpected rhythm-shared meals, whispered laughter, stolen glances-the life Jo always dreamed of suddenly feels within reach. But just as her heart begins to hope again, the past shows up at her front door. Hannah's father wants back in, claiming he's ready to be a father and fix what he broke. Now, Jo is faced with an impossible choice: return to the familiar comfort of a love that once betrayed her, or risk everything on the man who just might be her forever-if she's brave enough to believe in a new beginning.

Delaney James was wearing Chanel the night her husband told her he didn't love her anymore. In an instant, her picture-perfect Manhattan life-complete with a brownstone on the Upper East Side, a blossoming career as a fashion journalist, and a devastatingly handsome, high-powered husband-shattered like glass under a stiletto heel. Heartbroken and blindsided, she does the only thing that makes sense: packs her bags and heads south to the small North Carolina town she swore she'd never return to. It's just temporary, she tells herself-a quiet place to lick her wounds and plan her next move. But South Grove hasn't forgotten her. The porch swings, the sleepy afternoons, the scent of honeysuckle on the breeze-it all comes rushing back. She reconnects with old friends, finds solace in morning coffee runs and barefoot walks along the beach where she once dreamed of escaping. And then there's Greyson McKinnie. The boy who broke her heart is now a man who carries his own scars. Their reunion is anything but smooth. Tense, electric, and full of history, their connection flares to life the moment they cross paths again. And this time, walking away might not be so easy. Now, torn between the career she built and the love she thought she'd lost, Delaney must choose: is the life she always wanted worth the price of the one her heart is just beginning to remember?
