Tangled Roots

Years ago, Tristan Holt left the small town that shaped him, leaving behind a world of memories, regrets, and a girl who once held his heart.
Now he's back to finish the degree he abandoned long ago, seeking something he's not sure of-closure, redemption, or maybe just a place to call home. But the boy who left is now a man hardened by the world, wrapped in cold ambition and a heart locked away.

Olivia James stayed behind, carving out a life in the town that felt too small for her dreams, all while quietly nursing the wounds left by the boy she once loved. When Tristan reappears, he's nothing like the person she remembers-and yet, in the quiet spaces between their words, something familiar stirs. Their past is tangled, messy, and raw, but the connection between them is undeniable, even if it's now laced with anger and resentment.

In the echo of long-forgotten whispers and moments shared under a sky that once belonged to them, they must decide: Is there any space left for love, or is their history too broken to mend?

"Tangled Roots" is a story about love lost and found, about the weight of what we leave behind, and the courage it takes to embrace what's ahead. As Tristan and Olivia are drawn back to each other, they must reckon with their past-and discover whether some bonds are too strong to break.
