"You can run from your past, but sometimes, love finds you exactly where you're trying to start over."
After graduating college, Lily Carter leaves Illinois behind - the chaos, the pain, and the father who turned "home" into a place she never wanted to be.
Now she's in coastal North Carolina with her mom, a new job at the courthouse, and one rule: no distractions.
Then there's Beau Landry - the neighbor next door with quiet eyes and a past that runs just as deep as hers. He's got a protective streak, a rough edge, and a group of friends who make Lily feel something she hasn't felt in years: safe.
But safety turns to something else when late nights and long drives blur the lines between healing and falling.
He's everything she shouldn't want - and the only one who makes her feel like she finally belongs.
When Beau's ex shows up and the past starts knocking, Lily will have to decide if she's ready to stop running - and risk everything for the one person who feels like home.
A story about finding peace after the storm, healing through love, and realizing that "somewhere with you" can be the best place in the world.
