Book Synopsis
"Beautifully written with a twist you won't see coming."--HELEN HARDT, #1 New York Times bestselling author on When We Had Forever
An emotionally gripping page-turner about heartbreak, old secrets, and second chances--with an unexpected Cyrano twist. For fans of Lucy Score and Mia Sheridan.
When mathematician Aubrey MacLean's career implodes, she has no choice but to return to her rural Indiana hometown, at least temporarily. But small towns have long memories, and so does she, especially when it comes to Nick Thacker, the boy who broke her heart.
Nick's life is routine: long shifts at the steel mill, plus a side business writing love letters for other people. It's enough to numb his regrets--until his first love returns, stirring up a past he thought he'd buried.
Aubrey is focused on rebuilding her career, until she falls for a man whose love letters feel achingly familiar. But as their connection deepens, so does her sense that she's been here before. The similarities must be a coincidence, right? Because if not, Aubrey may have to choose between the life she's built and the love she left behind...
Perfect for fans of:
- Small town romance
- Second chances
- Single dad
- Tortured hero
- Love letter mix-ups

Tuli, bestselling author of Trial of the Sun Queen "This book is an addictive page-turner, laced with undeniable yearning, visceral tension, and narrative propulsion that kept me up into the wee hours of the night.
