Fall From Grace

I was once New York’s “It girl.”
Everyone wanted to be me—that is until they didn’t even want to know me.

One scandal.
That was all it took to shatter the reputation I’d spent years building.
My friends disappeared.My family became disgraced.
Meanwhile, I was left staring at the wreckage of the person I used to be, so I escaped.

I found myself in Grand Haven—a small town where no one whispered behind my back or cared about the headlines I left behind. It was supposed to be a fun weekend away, a chance to clear my head...

I was once New York’s “It girl.”

Meanwhile, I was left staring at the wreckage of the person I used to be, so I escaped.

I found myself in Grand Haven—a small town where no one whispered behind my back or cared about the headlines I left behind. It was supposed to be a fun weekend away, a chance to clear my head and figure out what was next.

On my first night, I spilled a martini on Caleb Jameson.
Single dad.
Bar owner.
His charming smile and easygoing nature had me wanting something that was just mine for a change, not because it was what was expected of me, but just because. So I chose to stay.

My request to him was simple: “Promise me, whatever you do, don’t google me.”
He readily agreed, eager to listen and not judge, and with him, I was able to share the version of myself I wanted to be.
Unfortunately, my past is a mess of mistakes and regrets I can’t take back, and no matter how far away I run, there’s no denying it.
When my old life starts creeping closer to the new one I’m building, I’m terrified it’ll destroy everything I’m finally starting to believe I deserve.

I quickly learn that sometimes, the hardest part of falling is not the crash, but actually getting back up.

A small town, single dad romance with an HEA!
