Love Rewritten.

A widowed professor. A love he thought was lost. Two girls in need of a home. And a past that refuses to stay buried.



Mackenzie "Mac" Elliot has spent years burying himself in books and lesson plans, content to let life pass him by. But when he stumbles upon two runaway sisters with nowhere to go, his carefully constructed world begins to unravel. What starts as a single act of kindness quickly turns into something much more-forcing him to step up in ways he never expected.



Just as Mac begins to find purpose beyond his grief, Vivian Sutton-the ex-wife he never truly let go-walks back into his life. She's stronger, sharper, and even more stunning than he remembers. But Vivian isn't just back for nostalgia-she's ready to fight for him. And this time, she won't leave without a battle.



As Mac, Vivian, and the girls navigate their fragile new reality, the ghosts of their pasts refuse to rest. A violent attack leaves Mac in the public eye, old secrets resurface, and dangerous figures from Maggie and Stokely's past come creeping out of the shadows. When the people he loves most are threatened, Mac is faced with a choice: stay in the safe, quiet life he's built-or fight for the family he never saw coming.



A deeply emotional and gripping story about love, second chances, and what it means to build a family from the broken pieces of the past.



Perfect for fans of Nicholas Sparks, It Ends With Us, and The Nightingale.
