After years of service overseas, Evan Calloway returns to Cloverton with nothing but a duffel bag and a heart full of ghosts. The town hasn't changed much-but he has. Hoping to keep a low profile, he's drawn instead into a community project he can't ignore: a memorial to honor the town's veterans. It should be simple. Quiet. Temporary.
Harper Lynn came to Cloverton to heal from her own loss, pouring herself into revitalizing her family's struggling newspaper. When she learns about the memorial project, she sees more than a story-she sees a chance to unite the town and maybe reclaim her sense of purpose.
But working with Evan proves to be anything but easy. He's guarded, skeptical, and too familiar with heartbreak. She's passionate, relentless, and not afraid to challenge him. As sparks fly and old wounds resurface, they'll have to decide if the past will define them-or if they're ready to build something lasting, together.
A heartfelt story of second chances, small-town resilience, and the power of remembering.
