Abbie Collins has lived her entire life in the small town of Watford, Washington. Five years ago, she had plans to marry her high school sweetheart and inherit her family's business. Then her mother died of cancer, and the love of her life left town without a trace. When the town council asks for her help with putting on a summer festival to revitalize the local economy, Abbie jumps at the chance to put Watford back on the map.
Connor Harvey only has one regret: leaving the woman he swore he would love forever. He joined the military to run from his own demons and escape a past he's unwilling to face. Having returned to Washington State after retiring from active duty, he now works at Winding Road Recovery with his best friends, a non-profit focused on getting veterans the help they need.
The chance for Winding Road to sponsor a local event forces him to confront everything he's spent the last five years running from.
Because now, he's going back to Watford. Back to her. And there's nowhere left for either of them to hide.
In order to move forward with their lives, they must first face the past - and their complicated feelings for each other.
