She left London with a broken heart. Four years later, she's back... but she's not the same woman Leah Williamson let walk away. Taylor Dawson thought she'd buried that chapter of her life forever. After leaving London and returning to Australia, she rebuilt everything from the ground up-a new life, a family, and memories she never imagined she'd have to survive. Now one phone call changes everything. Leah Williamson has torn her ACL. With surgery looming and months of rehabilitation ahead, Arsenal need someone they trust. Someone who knows Leah better than anyone. Taylor. Thrown back into the home they once shared, old feelings refuse to stay buried. Between painful rehab sessions, stolen glances, late-night conversations and the ghosts of four years apart, they're forced to face the one question neither of them ever answered... What if letting each other go was the biggest mistake they ever made? But Taylor isn't the same girl who left London heartbroken. She carries a wedding ring. A lifetime of grief. And a little girl waiting for her on the other side of the world. Sometimes, finding your way home means walking through every piece of the past you tried to leave behind.
