Coming Home

Avery



I've been with the same man since I was sixteen-years-old. Somewhere along the way, I lost myself to being the perfect wife and mother.



Months ago, I finally mustered up the courage to ask him for a divorce but I never really got out from under his thumb. So when my mother falls sick, my four-year-old son and I head back to where it all began-Haven Bay.



Jobless, broke, and with an impending custody battle breathing down my neck, the last thing I need is a new relationship. So, when my childhood best friend comes back into my life, I vow to keep it platonic. He's always had a piece of my heart, but I won't risk losing myself to another man. I can't.



Can I?

I'm the town jokester; always good for a laugh. But there's more to me than just jokes. A side of me that no one else sees.



Avery and I had been best friends since we were kids until she started dating Mitch Olsen and moved away. She's been gone for over ten years, taking a piece of my heart with her.



Now, the girl that got away is back in town and I'm not about to lose her again - no matter what.



But can the only girl to capture my heart love me for who I truly am?
