Mason Porter: Avalon Falls’ hottest single dad, my brother’s best friend, and the only man who’s ever broken my heart.
Oh, and now he’s my neighbor.

I came back to town without telling anyone—just me, a half-forgotten cabin I inherited, and the quiet hope that a few stolen weeks might be enough to outrun the pressure closing in from all sides.

I didn’t expect to run into Mason and his son by the creek. I didn’t expect him to keep my secret. And I definitely didn’t expect the way it would feel to slip into his life like I’d always belonged there.

Now I’m living next door, falling into a rhythm that feels dangerously close to peace. I watch his son while he works, cook dinner more nights than not, and for the first time in years, I don’t feel like I’m waiting for the other shoe to drop.

For a little while, it works.
Until it doesn’t.

Because this town has secrets, and I’m not the only one running from something.
Someone is watching me.

And the danger I thought I left behind might be closer than I ever imagined.
He was never mine to begin with.
But loving him now might cost me everything.

My Review:

I received an eARC in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

It was lovely taking a trip back to Avalon Falls and I adored this book from the very beginning. Mason and Abby have a long and complicated history with each other. But everything about them just fits so perfectly. Their story was so touching, sweet, heartbreaking, and emotional and had all of my favorite things. A small town, single dad, forbidden romance. Sigh 🥰

I highly recommend not only this book but this entire series if you’re looking to fall in love with all of these characters and especially Abby, Mason, and baby Theo!
