Summary

Ayla Pezzino thought she had it all. A successful career as a marketing executive in New York City, a new man by her side, and a fresh start after the heartbreak that shattered her world six years ago. But when she receives the devastating news that her best friend, Sage Lawson, has passed away, Ayla's carefully rebuilt life is thrown into chaos. Returning to West Hartford for the funeral, she comes face to face with the last person she expected to see: Seth Castro. Seth, now a successful family lawyer and an eligible bachelor, has long since moved on from his painful breakup with Ayla. But seeing each other at Sage's funeral, the past suddenly feels closer than ever. As they mourn their best friend, Ayla, and Seth are forced to confront the emotions and unfinished business that have haunted them for years. Caught between the lives they've built and the memories they can't escape, Ayla and Seth must decide if the spark that once ignited their love is worth reigniting or if some flames are better left in the past. **This is a first draft. Unedited, unrevised chapters will be posted weekly.**

Disclaimer/Author's Note

This book contains discussions of death (off-page), mental health challenges, including self-harm (on-page), at times complex family relationships, and themes of infidelity and cheating (on-page). It also features sexually explicit content and is intended for mature readers over the age of 18. I understand that this book can be sensitive at times and may not be for everyone, but please know that I have approached and handled these topics and triggers with care and sensitivity.


Growing up, I wrote stories all of the time. Through high school and college I had a creative mind, jotting down ideas, and being inspired by events, people, tragedies, and love around me. I deeply appreciate you as my reader, supporting me on this new journey of “authorhood,” and I hope you find meaning and enjoyment in this story. After all, this is a love story and who doesn’t love love?
