Is it possible to revisit the past without losing everything you've built in the present? Because I'm about to find out, and the stakes have never been higher. When Ryan, the only man who ever truly understood me, strides back into my life, I'm caught off guard in the most reckless way. Our town may be small, but my heart? It's a battleground now, with memories I've tried to bury resurfacing at every turn. As I navigate this unexpected reconnection with Ryan, my sanctuary-a cozy café and a quiet life-starts to feel like a balancing act on the edge of something bigger, and a little dangerous. He's not just here for coffee. He's here with big plans, charm that could topple empires, and a knack for turning "I just want to talk" into a journey I can't stop thinking about. But can we really rewrite the rules this time? Or will the gravity of our history pull me into a future I'm not ready to face? Maybe it's about time I find out. Because when it's your heart on the line, sometimes you just have to take that next step forward-no matter the cost.
