Our Soft Scars

When Ava Hayes lost her brother Liam in the military, she lost more than family ... she lost the version of herself who believed life couldn't break her twice.

Eighteen months later, the boy who used to share her porch, steal her fries, and swear he'd always bring Liam home walks back into town with haunted eyes and a duffel bag full of secrets.

Carter Hale.
Her brother's best friend.
The ghost who vanished right after the funeral.

Now he's back , but he's not the same. Something happened out there. Something he won't say. Something that ties him to Liam's last moments and to Ava in ways she never expected.

As grief pulls them together and guilt threatens to tear them apart, the truth about Liam's final promise begins to surface.a promise that might shatter them or save them.

In a small town that never forgets,
in a home full of memories they can't outrun,
Ava and Carter must learn how to carry the weight of the past...
while trying not to fall in love with the piece of it standing right in front of them.
