The Years We Lost

Eight years ago, Bailey ran from the small town that broke her heart.
She left behind a love that once felt unbreakable, a boy who chose rumors over trust, and a town that turned its back on her when lies painted her as a sinner.
Now she's back-pulled home by a will she never expected and a past she tried to forget.

Ashton, the mayor's golden son, has moved on.
He's successful. Respected.
And engaged to the best friend who betrayed her.

What no one knows is the secret Bailey carried with her when she left.
A child.
Ashton's child.

In a town where gossip never dies and forgiveness comes at a cost, Bailey must face old wounds, buried truths, and the question she's been avoiding for years.
Can first love survive betrayal... or is some damage permanent?

Some love stories don't end...they wait.
