Theo and Caden were never supposed to fall in love.

Best friends. Teammates. Just two boys from a small South Carolina town trying to make it out. But in secret, between late-night drives and stolen glances, they became everything to each other—first kiss, first love, first heartbreak.

Then came the night that changed everything.

One mistake. One moment.

And in its aftermath, Caden lost more than the boy who once held his heart.

Fifteen years later, Theo’s still in Gomillion, teaching English at their old high school and trying to forget the one person he’s never stopped loving. Caden rebuilt his life on the other side of the country, turning pain into purpose as an adaptive fitness trainer. He’s successful, admired—and utterly alone.

When a high school reunion pulls Caden back to the place he never planned to return, both men are forced to face the ghosts they’ve carried for years. Regret. Guilt. And the kind of love that never really fades.

Their story began in a town too small to hold it.

This time, Theo’s not letting it end there.
