Serena James arrived in Clover Ridge with a car full of everything she owned, a fourteen-month-old boy on her hip, and a past she was determined to outrun. She wasn't looking for anything - not a fresh start, not a reason to stay, and absolutely not a six-foot-something blue-eyed man who ran half the town and looked at her son like he hung the moon.
Callum Calloway had roots so deep in Clover Ridge they were practically part of the foundation. He wasn't looking either. But Eli James had other plans.
Some things can't be built overnight. Some things are worth the wait.
What Eli Knew - because the littlest ones always know first.
