Second chances don’t knock—they crash through the door.

Thomas Weaver was my high school sweetheart. Our families—wealthy, powerful, and emotionally distant—expected perfection and blind faith. But all we ever wanted was each other.

When my father’s death and mother’s disintegration into melodrama pulled us apart, I thought it was the end.

Norah McAlister broke my heart when she left me on one knee in my kitchen floor. To cope, I pushed myself, nose to the grindstone, earning my bachelor’s and MBA in four years and starting a business with my two best friends.

Years later, we’re forced into close quarters when she pushes her entire life aside for one of our best friends.

Norah and Thomas navigate old wounds, buried secrets, and a chemistry that never died. As we work under the same roof, building a business together, we wonder if we’re also rebuilding something we never thought we’d get back.

Can love bloom again in the shadow of heartbreak? Or will the ghosts of our families—and our past—keep us apart for good?
