He left her behind without a goodbye. Now he wants to fake forever.
When Beckett Cross -- clean-cut CEO, walking regret in designer shoes -- returns to Sycamore Ridge, he claims it's for business. But the engagement ring he pulls out says otherwise. His PR team wants a heartwarming love story. He wants Callie Monroe to play the part.

Callie isn't interested in romantic redemption arcs -- especially not from the man who shattered her heart and ghosted a decade ago. But when her struggling bookstore, failing appliances, and town gossip close in, the idea of a fake engagement starts to look like survival.

Their story starts as a script. But between long drives, porch coffee, and the ghost of what they used to be, lines start to blur. The past is messy. The future is uncertain. And somewhere between pretending and remembering, they'll have to face the hardest question of all:
What if the one who broke you is the only one who ever truly knew you?

A clean, heartfelt second-chance romance with slow-burn tension, small-town charm, and an ending that sticks. Perfect for fans of Abby Jimenez, Lucy Score, and sweet emotional reads with just enough bite.
