When Annalia returns to her small hometown after six mysterious months away, she brings with her a secret that will shake Preston Sawyer to his core—a son born from one passionate summer night they can never take back. Preston has spent months drowning in grief and unanswered questions, but seeing Annalia again reignites feelings he'd tried desperately to bury beneath hurt and resentment. As these two childhood sweethearts navigate the wreckage of broken trust and unspoken truths, they'll have to dig deep to discover whether the love that once felt so solid can survive the weight of their past. This is a deeply emotional story about second chances, the kind of forgiveness that transforms us, and finding your way back to someone when the cost of staying apart feels impossibly high.
Reading soundtrack
Intimate indie-folk and sultry R&B for long-simmering desire and stolen moments. Warm acoustic guitars, breathy vocals, and sensual slow-burns—nostalgia wrapped in heat. Think Bon Iver, SZA, and early Hozier. Wide-open spaces meet close-quarters longing.
