The thing about the past? You can’t outrun it.
No matter how far you go, it always finds a way to catch you.
Ten years ago, I never thought I’d end up in Rockport—another move, another school, another fresh start I didn’t ask for. Then I met him. Brooks Holland. The boy who saw past my defenses and made me dream of a life beyond what I’d known. But one mistake was enough to tear it all apart. So, I ran, believing that distance was the only way to ease the pain.
Now, fate has other plans. A chance encounter forces me to face him again, and suddenly I’m on a plane back to Oregon for a high school reunion I swore I’d never attend.
I keep telling myself it’s just a weekend, a chance to finally move on. But as the plane descends, I can’t shake the fear that the anger I’ve carried all these years will never truly fade.
As old feelings resurface and buried truths come to light, I have to decide.
Will returning to the place that broke me finally set me free? Or could it give me a second chance at the life—and the love—I thought I’d lost forever?
