Never Left Me

After eight years of building a new life in Chicago, Lauren Allen is forced to return to her small hometown in Arkansas. It's a world she thought she'd left behind-the quiet streets, the endless farmland, and the memories of the boy she never quite forgot. Now working as a paralegal and engaged to a successful lawyer, Lauren should be happy. But beneath the polished surface of her life, she feels out of place, trapped in a world that doesn't quite fit. When she unexpectedly crosses paths with Tyler Owens, the boy who broke her heart one summer night, Lauren must confront the emotions she's buried for nearly a decade. As she's pulled back into the life she tried to leave behind, Lauren faces a choice: continue the path she's on, or finally admit what-and who-she truly wants.
