Six years ago, Grace Mitchell started writing anonymous letters to deployed soldiers through a nonprofit program. She never expected to hear back—until a reply came from Callum James, a sarcastic Navy SEAL stationed overseas. For two years, they exchanged letters, sharing their lives, hopes, and fears. But then, without a word, Callum disappeared.
Now, Cal is back, retired and wounded, hiding out in the same coastal town where Grace runs her bakery. When they cross paths, the spark between them is undeniable, but the years of silence have left scars. Grace is hesitant to forgive the man who ghosted her letters, while Cal is consumed by guilt for abandoning the one person who had kept him grounded during his darkest moments.
As they navigate the emotional terrain of their shared past, their growing attraction pulls them closer, but old wounds threaten to pull them apart. Will Grace be able to trust Cal again, or has too much time passed for a second chance at love?
In a town full of memories, can two broken souls rebuild the connection they once had? Or will the fear of history repeating itself keep them from finding happiness?
