🌙 "Some ghosts don't haunt in the dark - they stand before you in broad daylight."
Five years ago, Elyra Santiago swore she would never come back to the small town that broke her. She left behind memories buried under the acacia tree, the taste of promises that turned to lies, and the boy who disappeared without a word.
But when fate pulls her home, Elyra is forced to face everything she tried to forget. The whispers of the town. The swing that still sways in the park. And Kai Velasco-the boy who once held her world in his hands, now standing before her like a ghost she never asked to see again.
She told herself she was done with him. That her heart was no longer his.
But the past doesn't stay buried. And some wounds don't heal just because you run away.
Will Elyra find the strength to finally let go, or will the boy she hates to love pull her back into the kind of heartbreak she barely survived the first time?
⚠️ A story of first loves, second chances, and the ghosts we carry with us.
Perfect for readers who love slow-burn, angst, and emotional small-town romance.
