-THE WAY BACK-

Kennedy Rolland thought she knew what love looked like.

At twenty, it felt like fire-fast, consuming, impossible to ignore. And when she met David Rodriguez, a man nearly two decades older with a past as heavy as his presence, she didn't hesitate. What started as instant chemistry turned into something deeper-something real. They built a life together that felt like forever... until heartbreak shattered it.

After losing their baby, the love that once held them together wasn't enough to keep them from falling apart.

So Kennedy left.

In California, she finds something she never expected-peace.

And then she finds him.

Bull isn't what she's used to. He's steady where life used to be chaotic. Patient where love once felt rushed. A Marine veteran and father of four, he doesn't try to fix her-he simply gives her space to heal... and somewhere safe to land.

What starts as friendship slowly becomes something more.

Something stronger.

Something that doesn't burn-it grounds.

But when Kennedy returns to Texas and comes face to face with the man she once thought she'd marry, the past reminds her just how powerful first love can be.

Now she has to choose:

The love that shaped her...
or the love that rebuilt her.
