Coming Home To You
Shera Hayes has spent the last ten years nursing the bittersweet memory of Luke Connors -the boy she loved, the man who confessed his feelings just before vanishing without explanation. In their tight-knit small town, rumors have swirled, but no one knows why Luke left or where he went. All Shera knows is that her heart never moved on. Now, Luke is back, attending a mutual friend's wedding, and the air between them crackles with unresolved emotions. But Luke isn't the same man Shera remembers. His once carefree demeanor is shadowed by something deeper-something he refuses to talk about. What Shera doesn't know is that Luke spent the past decade as a Navy SEAL, carrying out dangerous missions that kept him far from the life-and the love-he left behind. As secrets unravel and old feelings reignite, Luke must decide: can he open up about his past and prove he's back for good? Or will his silence cost him the only woman he's ever truly loved?
