An unforgettable second-chance romance about healing, family, and the enduring power of first love. This edition includes designed edges and an exclusive, never-before-published, bonus chapter.

Eleanor never thought she’d see Greyson East again. As a teenager, he was everything–her first crush, her closest friend, the boy who made her believe in forever. But life had other plans, and when tragedy struck, they were torn apart. Years later, Eleanor takes a nannying job hoping to rebuild her life, only to discover her new boss is Greyson–the boy she once knew, now a man haunted by loss.

Greyson warns Eleanor to keep her distance and focus solely on her job, but as she has never backed down from a challenge. As Eleanor spends time with Greyson and his two daughters, she catches glimpses of the boy she once adored beneath his cold exterior–the one who made her feel seen when no one else did.

With each passing day, Eleanor chips away at the walls Greyson has built, uncovering the pain he’s tried so hard to bury. But letting her in means facing the ghosts of his past, and the possibility of losing her all over again. For Eleanor, walking away would be the safer choice, but her heart refuses to give up on the man who once made her believe in love. Because sometimes, the hardest battles are the ones worth fighting–and Eleanor is determined to show Greyson that even the deepest scars can heal when love is given a second chance.
