Together Is Where We Belong
At eighteen, I left Haven Valley with Leo Courtright’s final words ringing in my ears.
I hate you.
I swore I’d never come back to the small town—or the boy—I’d left behind. But when the man
stalking me gets too close, I run to the only place that’s ever felt safe.
Home.
Coming back meant seeing the blue-eyed boy who was once my entire world. Only Leo
isn’t a boy anymore. He’s colder. Harder. And he still looks at me like I wrecked his life.
Returning home also means revealing the secret I’ve kept for eight years.
He has Leo’s eyes.
His inquisitive nature.
And he can’t wait to meet his dad.
When Leo shows up at my front door to welcome his new neighbor, the second his gaze
lands on the little boy behind me, everything changes.
The man who swore he hates me is suddenly everywhere—fixing broken locks, watching
over us, asking questions I can’t answer without risking the fragile life I built to protect my
son.
The more time we spend together, the harder it becomes to deny what’s always been
between us.
Because some first loves stay with you forever.
Some people never stop feeling like home.
And maybe, after everything we lost, together is where we belong.
If the past—and the danger chasing us—doesn’t destroy us first.
A heartbreaking second-chance romance about first love, buried secrets, and the kind of once-in-a-lifetime love that never really lets you go.
