After years of living abroad, coming home should feel like a fresh start-but instead, it feels like stepping into an old life that no longer fits. The streets are familiar yet overwhelming, the expectations heavier than before. Between reconnecting with old friends, navigating family pressures, and rediscovering forgotten dreams, the search for belonging becomes more complicated than ever. Some things have changed, others have stayed the same, but the biggest question remains:
Is home a place, or is it something you carry with you?
He was the boy who left. She was the girl who couldn't forget.
One year. 365 days of silence. That's what Aiden gave Emma when he walked out of her life without a trace. Now he's back, with a darkness in his eyes she doesn't recognize and a pull she doesn't remembers being this strong.
What do you do when the boy who shattered your world walks back into it a year later, with the same crooked smile and a million secrets in his eyes? When the old, electric pull between them is stronger than ever.
Between jealous friends, a toxic ex, and the suffocating weight of the secrets he's still keeping, Emma finds herself pulled towards him all over again. He's determined to win her back, one stolen moment, one possessive touch, and one heartbreaking confession at a time.
But rebuilding a love on the ashes of the past is a dangerous game. And this time, the fire might just burn them both to the ground.
