Backroads and Beginnings

She ran once. Coming home means facing everything she left behind.

Lila Hart didn't plan to return to Briar Creek. She only meant to catch her breath after burning out in the city. A few quiet weeks. Familiar roads. No complications.

Then she runs into Blake Chandler.

The boy she loved.
The man she never really said goodbye to.

Blake is still steady, still kind, and still looking at her like she matters. And in a town where everyone remembers their history, it doesn't take long for old feelings and unfinished conversations to surface.

Lila knows what happens when she lets herself want too much. She's built a life around leaving before things hurt.

But Blake has spent years learning how to stay.

As summer unfolds with porch swings, small-town whispers, and second chances that refuse to be ignored, Lila and Blake must decide whether love is worth the risk of putting down roots again-or if some roads are safer left behind.

Backroads & Beginnings is a heartwarming small-town romance filled with peach pie, familiar faces, and a love that never quite let go.

Sweet with a touch of sass. Low heat. Big heart.
Perfect for readers who love second chances, small-town charm, and emotionally satisfying happily-ever-afters.
