The Way Back "sometimes home is a person "

She left to chase dreams. He stayed to build them. But when fate pulls them back together, neither is ready for the sparks that reignite everything they thought they’d buried.



When Amara Rivers returns to the quiet coastal town of Corra’s Hollow after nearly a decade in the city, it’s supposed to be temporary. A quick visit. A small renovation project. A break from her overworked life as an architect. But nothing feels temporary when you’re facing the ghosts of who you used to be—and the one person who never left your heart.

The house they’re restoring holds more than rotting wood and broken windows—it’s filled with old secrets, long-lost letters, and the memories of a love that never quite faded.



But time changes people. And as tensions rise between them, so do the sparks.



Can Amara truly come home again? And can Darian forgive the girl who left—especially when she’s no longer just a girl, and he’s no longer the boy who waited?
