Return: The Colefield Redemption Series
She left for college.
He never stopped loving her.
Mallory Davenport has always carried the weight of her family name. As Elliot’s little sister, she was supposed to go out, do something big, and make them proud. But success came at the cost of the boy she once loved — the boy who held her heart long before anyone else.
Van was her first kiss, her first love, her first everything. And when she walked away, she took the light with her. Years later, he’s rougher, quieter, living in the shadows of the resort. But no matter how much he tries to push her away, Mallory can still see the boy who once made her feel like home.
Now Mallory is back in Colefield, and the sparks they buried as teenagers burn hotter than ever. But Van’s scars run deeper than she realized, and Mallory will have to decide if she’s willing to fight for the only man she’s ever truly loved — even if it means risking her family’s approval.
A gripping second-chance romance about first love, broken trust, and the healing power of coming home.

Great book with a story line that many will relate to.
I love a good romance story about a guy willing to change and be better for THE girl and that is exactly what you get with Mallory and Van's story in Return. If you have ever loved someone battling addiction or that sees themselves as unworthy of love, this book will hit home. C. Marie has beautifully written this story that so many will relate to. It will give you all the feels, sadness, joy, excitement, and pride for the characters. I can't wait to finish the series with Rise.
