How do you move forward when the past won't let go?
Amelia (Lia) Holt Bradley thought she had life figured out-until a marriage proposal shatters everything. For three years, Michael has asked the same question, and Lia has always said no. This time, her refusal sets off a chain of events that spirals into tragedy, leaving Lia grappling with the weight of her choices and the loss of the man who once held her heart.
Meanwhile, Christian Lawson has returned home, his own heart burdened by unfinished business with Lia. Working a high-profile case that strikes too close to home, Christian's longing for reconnection grows stronger. As his investigation into Michael's death deepens, so do his feelings for Lia-feelings he's never been able to forget.
Together, they must confront the tangled web of love, loss, and betrayal that binds them, all while searching for the truth. Will Lia find the strength to choose her own path? And can Christian finally heal the wounds that have kept them apart?
