They say you can't go home again, but when your best friend asks you to be her maid of honor, you don't have a choice. Iris has been my anchor since we were teenagers—she saved me when I was just another scared foster kid trying to survive.
Now she's marrying Caleb Kittering, which means I have to return to the place I swore I'd never see again. To face Galen, the man I loved and left without explanation.
I'm an event planner now, good at creating perfect moments for other people. But some broken things can't be fixed with pretty flowers and careful planning.
Meet Leah
I built my life on solid ground—family, faith, responsibility. The ranch has been in my family for generations, and I understand what it means to honor that legacy. Then Leah walked away without a word.
Over the phone, of all things. Five years together, and suddenly nothing. No explanation, no goodbye. Just silence that stretched into years. Now she's back for Caleb's wedding, and I'm the best man to her maid of honor.
I tell myself I feel nothing, but seeing her again tears open wounds I thought had healed. Some things you never get over. Some people you never stop loving, even when they destroy you.
Meet Galen
