They were never truly over—and this time love might just get it right. After ten years of globe-trotting, Cassie Channing returns to Sturcombe Bay to care for her ailing grandmother. Only to find herself face-to-face with Liam Ellis—the man she once loved and left behind. Liam has moved on since the day Cassie left, or so he tells himself. A devoted single dad and respected vet, he’s built a life without her. But the moment she steps back into the village, old feelings come rushing back. Liam’s determined to keep his distance—but the spark between them is impossible to ignore. And, as Cassie settles into village life and grows close to his daughter, staying away gets harder. The more time Cassie and Liam spend together, the more the heat between them intensifies—but so do the unresolved tensions from the past. With Cassie’s plane ticket booked to leave in six weeks, they both must decide if the love they never really got over is worth a second chance.
