Her husband vanished after the wedding. No goodbye. No explanation. Had he ever been real at all?
A small-town second-chance romance with secrets, suspense, and a love that refuses to die.
Sienna never expected her Roman holiday end in heartbreak. Lars was everything she’d dreamed of—charming, mysterious, devastatingly handsome. Their whirlwind romance felt like fate. When he proposed on a sun-drenched hillside overlooking the Eternal City, she didn’t hesitate. She became his wife with stars in her eyes and forever in her heart.
The next morning, she woke up alone.
No note. No trace. Just a wedding ring and a certificate proving the impossible: she’d married a man who vanished like smoke. Shattered and humiliated, Sienna fled back to the safety of St. Ives, burying her secret deep and vowing to forget the stranger who’d stolen her heart.
Now, years later, she’s finally ready to move on. There’s a good man waiting, a real future within reach—but she can’t say yes until she’s free. Which means finding the husband who abandoned her and demanding a divorce.
But when Sienna tracks Lars down, nothing goes as planned. He’s not sorry. He’s not apologetic. And he’s definitely not signing those papers. Instead, he wants her back—and he’ll do whatever it takes to keep her. The tension between them had never disappeared.
Suddenly Sienna’s quiet coastal life is invaded by a man who claims he never stopped loving her, who insists he had reasons for leaving, who knows secrets about that night she never imagined. As the truth unravels and old feelings ignite, she’s caught between two worlds: the safe, predictable future she’s built in St. Ives, and the dangerous, intoxicating pull of a man she never truly knew.
Perfect for fans of second-chance romance, mysterious heroes, and small-town charm with serious heat.
