Kenna Kenna Feely never planned to raise a baby alone. At seventeen, with the father of her child behind bars and no way to tell him the truth, she was forced to grow up fast. Now five years later, she’s built a life for herself and her son in Cherry Falls—working as a hairdresser, keeping her head down, and protecting her heart. But when Cole Parker returns to town, everything she buried comes rushing back. He doesn’t know he has a son. And Kenna isn’t sure she’s ready to let him find out. Cole After serving time for a mistake he can’t take back, Cole Parker is just trying to start over. Cherry Falls was never home, but it’s the only place he has left—and the last place he ever expected to find Kenna James. The girl he couldn’t forget. The girl he walked away from without looking back. Seeing her again shakes everything loose inside him, but nothing prepares him for the truth she’s been carrying alone all these years. When Cole learns he’s a father, the ground shifts beneath his feet. Suddenly, he’s not just trying to rebuild his life—he’s trying to earn a place in hers. In her world. In their son’s. And the hardest part isn’t catching up on all he’s missed—it’s proving he’s the kind of man who deserves to be there now.
