The Years We Lost

Bailey believed leaving was the only way to survive.

Eight years ago, she fled a town that turned on her, carrying the weight of betrayal and a truth she was never given the chance to explain. She left behind a broken reputation, a shattered heart, and the man who chose silence over faith.

Now she is back.

Ashton Miller is everything the town admires. Successful. Respected. Engaged. But beneath the polished exterior lies a past he never faced and a betrayal he never questioned.

Bailey’s return forces them both to confront the damage left behind, including a secret that could change everything. As old wounds reopen and buried truths begin to surface, the line between resentment and longing blurs once more.

But some betrayals leave scars that love cannot erase.

In a town that never forgets, Bailey must decide whether revealing the truth is worth risking the life she built in silence or whether walking away again is the only way to protect her heart.

A gripping second-chance romance about betrayal, forgiveness, and love that refuses to stay buried.
