Expected 20 Apr 26NATHANIEL DAVENPORT WAS THE BEST THING THAT HAPPENED TO MADDIE GRACE CUNNINGHAM THE SUMMER SHE TURNED SIXTEEN.
AND HE WAS COMPLETELY OFF LIMITS…
When Maddie’s parents sent her to camp hundreds of miles away, she never expected to fall for her brother’s best friend.
Nate Davenport.
The boy from a world of wealth, expectations, and a future that shouldn’t have included her.
Only what they had wasn’t a fleeting summer love. It was endless.
They chased the same dream of becoming architects and began building a future side by side.
Or so Maddie believed.
Before Nate blindsided her, forcing space between them.
Ten years later, Maddie is still slowly rebuilding herself from heartbreak—throwing herself into work, convincing herself she’s moved on, and learning how to live without the boy she thought she’d grow old with.
Until Nate steps back into her life.
Older. Wiser. And somehow more devastatingly handsome than ever before.
He’s no longer willing to wait for forgiveness.
He’s determined to prove that some loves don’t fade with time or distance.
And when the truths that drove him away are revealed, the walls Maddie spent years building begin to crumble.
Now she must decide…can she forgive the man who broke her, or risk losing the love her heart never truly let go of?
