Falling Leaves

Rachel thought her love story with Brad was over. Now a stay-at-home mom and artist, she’s fighting to hold together a crumbling marriage no one else sees. Her husband’s secrets run deep—and so does Rachel’s loyalty, even as her heart feels more and more like a stranger in her own life. She never expected her latest art commission to bring Brad back into her orbit … or to awaken a spark she thought had long gone cold. Brad let Rachel go once—and he’s regretted it ever since. Running into her again stirs up every what-if, and every memory of the only woman who ever felt like home.

After a messy past, Emily is determined to start over quietly in Woodstock, Vermont. No drama. No relationships. And definitely no getting involved with the grumpy, bossy contractor who seems to be everywhere she turns. Too bad he’s infuriatingly attractive…and even worse? He’s the first man who’s made her feel something in years.

They gave up their daughter—and each other. Twenty years later, she’s back… and so are the feelings they thought they buried. Becca has built a life she thought she could live with. A husband. A home. A quiet kind of peace. But she’s never stopped aching for the baby she placed for adoption—or the boy she gave her heart to in high school.
