In My Heart

The Sweetbriar Mountain Series, Book 1

Luke McCabe was everything—my best friend, my first kiss, my forever.

Until he lost himself in the Army and disappeared without a word, leaving nothing behind but my shattered heart and two pink lines on a test.

I built a life without him.

I got married.

I had children.

I tried to move on.

But love like ours doesn't vanish. It waits.

Now I'm home again, widowed and unsure, with our son beside me and my daughter in my arms.

And Luke? He's here too—older, quieter, eyes full of regret and whispering promises I've heard only in my dreams.

He says he never stopped loving me, that he's only ever been with me.

And the truth is…

He's always been in my heart.

But can we find our way back, with all these years stacked up between us?

The boy I loved is gone.

But the man in front of me might be worth the risk.
