Valerie Mellon never thought she'd find herself back in the Outer Banks, the place she once called home, after spending four years in New York working for her father.
But here she was, standing in her childhood house, a different woman than the one who left.
Determined to rebuild old connections, she sets out to stabilize her bond with her childhood best friend, Sarah Cameron, and her cousin, Kiara Carrera.
However, the Outer Banks holds more than just memories-it also holds her first love and greatest heartbreak, Rafe Cameron. The golden boy she once gave her heart to is now a man she's tried-and failed-to forget.
As their paths cross again, Valerie finds herself torn between the intoxicating pull of their connection and the painful memories of their past.
Is this second chance a testament to enduring love or just another mistake waiting to happen?
This is a story of love, betrayal, forgiveness, and the enduring ties of loyalty that shape who we are-and who we choose to be.
