Homecoming [Leon S. Kennedy]

After spending a year chasing a life that was never meant for him, forty-nine-year-old Leon Kennedy returns to the only place that has ever truly felt like home. The gravel roads, quiet evenings, and familiar faces are exactly as he remembers them.

Everything, except Lake.

At twenty-three, Lake has spent most of her life raising her younger siblings while her mother works endless night shifts. Somewhere between school pickups, home-cooked dinners, and holding her family together, she forgot to ask herself what she wanted. Leon's return forces her to.

What begins as easy familiarity slowly becomes something neither of them expected-and something neither of them can ignore.

In a small Midwestern town where everyone knows everyone else, secrets have a way of slipping through the cracks. With a relationship the town would never understand, Leon and Lake find themselves falling for each other in stolen moments, quiet fields, and borrowed summers, knowing that some kinds of love are easier to hide than they are to let go.
