Claire loves her husband, Owen. Owen loves his wife Claire. The only problem? He's her sister Aubrey's best friend and their families have always been convinced that Owen and Aubrey were made for each other. It's of no consequence that Owen and Aubrey have always disagreed with this. Claire has always believed Owen and Aubrey that they are just friends. Or at least, she has until now. Aubrey has recently returned after spending several years living in another country. And she and Owen seem to be spending an awful lot of time together lately. And when Claire wakes up on Valentine's Day to an empty house, a husband who has to work late, and a post from her sister gushing about the thoughtful present she received from her best friend, Claire wonders if Owen is starting to feel like he picked the wrong sister. In a moment of hurt and insecurity, Claire makes an impulsive decision that will have far-reaching consequences on all their lives. Now Owen has to decide just how much he is willing to give up for the woman he loves. And most importantly, find a way to convince her that she was the sister who was made for him.

Eight years ago, Bailey ran from the small town that broke her heart. She left behind a love that once felt unbreakable, a boy who chose rumors over trust, and a town that turned its back on her when lies painted her as a sinner. Now she's back-pulled home by a will she never expected and a past she tried to forget. Ashton, the mayor's golden son, has moved on. He's successful. Respected. And engaged to the best friend who betrayed her. What no one knows is the secret Bailey carried with her when she left. A child. Ashton's child. In a town where gossip never dies and forgiveness comes at a cost, Bailey must face old wounds, buried truths, and the question she's been avoiding for years. Can first love survive betrayal... or is some damage permanent? Some love stories don't end...they wait.
