In Your Wake

She broke his heart. He left hers behind.

Maxine

Thirteen years ago, one mistake cost me the only person who ever truly mattered. Mitchell Adams may have walked away without a second glance, but I've spent every day since trying to make amends by holding together his family's struggling inn.

Now he's back, and his father's final wish forces us to work side by side, but I want nothing more than for Mitch to leave Oakwhite Bay for good.

The hurt between us still burns beneath our furious glares and stinging words. Still, the more my former best friend pushes me away, the more impossible it is to ignore the feelings I never buried.

Can I stop punishing myself long enough to fight for the only man I've ever loved?

Mitchell

I vowed to stay away from Oakwhite Bay, the place where Maxine Nolan broke my heart.

But when an injury sidelines my pro hockey career and my brewery's grand opening brings me home, I'm forced to face my estranged father… and work alongside the woman who still knows exactly how to get under my skin.

Every argument with Maxine reminds me why I swore I'd never come back. But our battles become the best part of my day, and the more time we spend together, the more I wonder if I ever really moved on.

When her betrayal is the hardest thing I've overcome, can I risk my heart to her again?

In Your Wake is a spicy small-town romance featuring childhood best friends turned enemies, forced proximity, second chances, and a love that refuses to stay in the past.
