Emmeline has finally escaped her controlling father's world to start fresh in a charming Montana town, only to discover the one person she's been trying to forget is still there—Nick, the man who broke her heart nine years ago by walking away without explanation. When Nick realizes his lost love has returned, he's determined to finally fight for her instead of letting her go, even if it means confronting the dangerous secrets that forced him to push her away in the first place. As these two navigate the complicated pull between them, Emmeline must decide whether to trust Nick with her heart again, while he races to prove that their second chance is worth the risk. This is a beautifully emotional reunion romance about sacrifice, redemption, and the kind of love that refuses to stay buried.

Indie folk and soft rock for small-town secrets and second chances. Longing vocals, acoustic guitars, and moments of electric intensity. Think Hozier, The National, and Phoebe Bridgers—bittersweet and redemptive, with undercurrents of passion.
