A small-town second chance romance
SPECIAL EDITION
He left town chasing stardom. He came home to say goodbye—and found the man he never forgot waiting for him.
Evan Conley thought leaving Cedarwood was the first step toward the life he wanted. Twenty-five years later, the world knows him as country music superstar Evan James—a chart-topping singer with fame, fortune, and a life built far from home. But when family tragedy calls him back to Cedarwood, he’s forced to face the past he left behind.
The last person Evan expects to see is Mick Ryan.
As the man overseeing his grandmother’s estate, Mick is impossible to avoid. He’s also the high school crush Evan never acted on—and the one man Mick has never been able to forget. Seeing Evan again stirs up old feelings, unresolved regrets, and a spark neither man can ignore.
Beneath the spotlight and celebrity image, Evan is carrying more than grief. And beneath Mick’s guarded exterior is a heart that still remembers what might have been. As they navigate loss, healing, and the realities of the lives they’ve built apart, they discover that some connections only grow stronger with time.
Can a hometown reunion turn decades of longing into the forever love they both deserve?
A heartfelt, emotional MM romance featuring second chances, small-town charm, family bonds, and a love powerful enough to overcome the past.
