Love & Forgiveness

She was ready to move on - until the past sat down beside her.

Emily Harper thought she had it all figured out: a stable job, a loyal fiancé, and dreams of a family to call her own. But when her engagement falls apart without warning, she's left reeling, heartbroken, and unsure where to turn. Returning to her quiet hometown for a high school reunion, she hopes a weekend away might offer some comfort.

Instead, it brings her face to face with the last person she ever expected: Joe Carlton, her former high school bully - and the man she still hasn't forgiven.

When fate places them side by side on a fourteen-hour train ride, enemies-to-lovers sparks start to fly. What begins as a reluctant conversation slowly unravels everything Emily thought she knew about Joe, herself, and the past they both carry.

As second chances bloom and buried truths come to light, Emily must decide whether she's willing to risk her heart again - and whether forgiveness might be the key to the future she's still learning to believe in.
