Jake Carpenter wasn't supposed to come back to Magnolia Ridge. After nearly two years in Atlanta, he's built a good life for himself—steady job, new friends, and busy nights that keep him distracted. But no matter how far he gets from Tennessee, nothing feels like home the way Magnolia Ridge does. Not Sunday dinners with the Collins family. Not late nights at The Tipsy Magnolia with Warner. And definitely not Blythe Collins. Blythe has always been his biggest mistake... and his favorite one. Their relationship was never simple. It was years of bad timing, chemistry they couldn't ignore, and hookups they swore would be the last one—until the night before Jake moved away changed everything. Because a few weeks after he left, Blythe found out she was pregnant. Now she's raising nine month old Camden on her own, determined to protect the peaceful life she's built for her daughter. There's just one Jake has no idea he is a father and the second he walks back into the Collins family kitchen and sees Camden for the first time, he starts putting the pieces together. What follows is a collision of heartbreak, missed time, and feelings that never really disappeared. Jake wants answers. Blythe wants to protect herself from heartbreak. But in a small town like Magnolia Ridge, avoiding each other is impossible, especially when a little girl with Jake's eyes have tied them together forever. Some people are unfinished business. And some loves never really let you go.
