Seven years ago, Rosanna Shepherd learned how to survive being left behind. She returned to Bishop Creek and claimed space in a town that never quite knew what to do with her. Where she was always watched a little too closely and always held to a standard. Where men looked at her like she was something to satisfy a curiosity, not someone to love. She learned that wanting too much in a place like this was a liability. So she stopped. Especially when it came to Harrison Bishop, the boy who disappeared without a word and never looked back. Now twenty-five, Rosanna has made her peace with the past. She works at the town clinic, keeps her world steady, and refuses to dwell on what might have been. Until Harrison comes home. At twenty-six, Harrison Bishop has done everything his family didn't want of him. He walked away from the life they designed, chose his own path in medicine, and returned to the one place that still feels unfinished, the place where Rosanna still is. The girl he never stopped loving. But Bishop Creek hasn't changed. His family still holds the power, including over the clinic Rosanna fought to make her own. And when the truth about the past begins to unravel everything Rosanna thought she knew about him starts to shift. Because Harrison didn't leave her. He was taken from her.
