𝐈𝐍 𝐖𝐇𝐈𝐂𝐇, five years ago, Sienna Gallego vanished from the Outer Banks, leaving behind the only place she ever called home and the boy she once loved, Rafe Cameron. Their relationship had been all-consuming, the kind of love people warned them about, until it all fell apart under the weight of miscommunication, pressure, and pain. Since then, Sienna built a life for herself in Seattle, far from the tangled memories of her past. But when her father dies, she returns home for the first time in years, unaware that everything is about to shift once again. At a tense family lunch between the Gallegos and the Camerons, Sienna is blindsided when Rafe and her younger sister, Sophia, announce their engagement. The world tilts beneath her feet as the past crashes headfirst into the present. Rafe is no longer the reckless boy she loved, and Sophia, her sweet and fearless sister, has become someone Sienna barely recognizes. As buried feelings resurface and long-forgotten truths unravel, Sienna is forced to confront the echoes of a love she thought had died. But maybe, just maybe, this love never really left, it just needed time to find its way back.
