Summary
After a heartbreak that left her questioning everything, Nora Marrow packs up her life in Chicago and returns to the quiet Vermont town she once called home. She’s not looking for love, not looking for anything, really—just a place to breathe again.
But healing rarely goes according to plan. When she meets Caleb Hayes, a soft-spoken artist who teaches painting by the lake, their connection feels effortless, like finding warmth in the middle of winter. Yet just as Nora begins to believe she might be ready to start over, her past comes knocking—literally. Leo, the man she left behind, arrives with old memories and unspoken words that refuse to fade.
