Trying Not to Need You

I thought I was living my happily ever after. But after five years in New York, building my life around a man who stopped choosing me, I realized our future was nothing more than a dream. So I walked away. From the city. From him. From the family I thought we'd build together.

Now I'm back in Magnolia Ridge with my sisters, trying to figure out who I am without the life I planned.

I didn't come home looking for love. But somehow, love has been waiting for me all along.

I've loved Baylor Moran for years. The timing was always wrong. Until now. She's back in Magnolia Ridge with a bruised heart and walls higher than ever. But that's okay. I'll be here when they're ready to come down.

Baylor can take all the time she needs. I'm not going anywhere. And while she's trying not to need me, I'll keep loving her until she realizes she's not falling apart anymore. She's finally falling—straight into the future we were always meant to have.
