Back to Us

TC Matson returns to Cameron Falls with a small town, second chance standalone about two high school sweethearts turned enemies.


Blake

In high school, Dakota Jayne was my everything.

My life. My soul. The air I breathed. She was my light.

One day we were planning the rest of our life.

The next I was picking up the shattered pieces of my broken heart.

She abandoned me without looking back.

Had she glanced in the rearview, she would’ve seen me chasing after her through the dust cloud she stirred up when she hightailed it out of town.

Now, eleven years later, she’s back and creating havoc between my heart and mind.

I hate her. She’s still beautiful.

She left me. I still love her.

I wish she’d go back to wherever the hell she came from so I can get on with my life.


Dakota

Blake Helms was my life.

We had everything planned out.

That’s until he devastated me and broke my heart.

So, I packed up all the pieces and left for college, leaving everything I had ever known behind me.

I finished college, settled into my career, and tried to forget him.

Then my grandmother passed away, bringing me back to this god-forsaken town.

I despise this place and all of the memories.

I hate him. He’s still gorgeous.

He broke me. I don’t want to still love him.

Leaving the first time was hard but leaving the second time might just kill me.
