Echoes of the Past
What happens when a crooked smile and a backwards hat come crashing into your life? You panic, you overthink, and you run as fast as you can.
The checklist of my life is as Life-altering event, PTSD from life-altering event, and constantly having the need to run from her problems. It’s sad, pathetic, and it needs to change.
I left everything behind – memories, mistakes, friendships – for a chance to start over and finally breathe free. Provincetown was my breath of fresh air. This little town gave me the chance to be the person I wanted to be. My past became just that – the past. It wasn’t instant, but somewhere along the way I found the version of myself I thought was lost forever. Love was never on my radar, but somehow it crept its way into my life when I least expected it to.
They say that everything in life happens for a reason. Turns out, my reason is Cole Walker.

So easy to read and could not put it down!! I read it in one day and I am a slow reader! Emma and Cole’s love story is just perfect and not only it is sweet but also little spicy 👀. Loved loved loved!

A nice quick read! I love, love, love Cole and Emma! Their connection was so raw, emotional and so beautifully written. The yearning between them had me hooked. Plus the spiciness was top tier. Their story will stay with me for a long time!
