Chapter 1

Seven years apart, and Becky Armstrong still knows how to make an entrance. She came back home with baggage, sharp wit, and a talent for saying the thing everyone else avoids. What she didn't plan on was running straight into Freen - the woman she loved, left, and never stopped wanting.

Freen has her armor. Becky has her fire. In a town full of watchful eyes, grocery store run-ins, and P'Nam's brutal honesty at the bookstore, the two of them can't seem to stay away from each other.

It's messy. It's magnetic. It's everything Becky swore she'd outgrown - and everything Freen never let go of.

Some love stories burn quiet. Theirs was never built for quiet.
