WHEN THEY ALL RETURNED

Everyone saw Ayla as sunshine.
The girl with the bright smile, endless energy, and a heart that cared too much.
But behind that smile was a girl who spent years believing she was never enough. Bullied for the things that made her different, Ayla slowly lost the confidence and spark that once made her who she was.
Running away to a new country gives her the chance to start over. A new city, new people, and a chance to finally become the girl she was always meant to be.
But the past has a way of finding its way back.
Wes was her first love. Her neighbor. Her biggest argument and her favorite person all at once. Their story was full of teasing, fights, and feelings neither of them wanted to admit. But when dreams, fame, and distance begin pulling them apart, Ayla learns that loving someone doesn't always mean they know how to love you back.
Ian was the person who stayed. The childhood friend who knew her before the world changed her. He gave her patience, comfort, and a love that never asked for anything in return... but sometimes the person who knows your heart best isn't always the person your heart chooses.
And then there was him... the boy who entered her life when she was falling apart. A rival, a competitor, and eventually the person who saw the broken pieces she tried to hide. He didn't save her, but he reminded her how to save herself.
Years later, all three return.
Old feelings. Unfinished stories. New versions of themselves.
Ayla thought she left her past behind... but what happens when the past comes back asking for another chance?
Three boys. Three different kinds of love.
