Forever Yours

Coming home was never part of the plan.
Chloe thought she’d escaped her past when she left everything behind to start over in the city. But returning to her childhood home stirs emotions she thought were long gone—and uncovers wounds that never truly healed. As she unpacks dusty memories and cleans rooms heavy with regret, a message from an old friend reminds her of the man who once made her feel seen, and a letter on the table forces her to face a betrayal she never saw coming.
Caught between two loves—one that helped her survive and one that tore her apart—Chloe must navigate the wreckage of everything she ran from. But sometimes, the hardest part isn’t letting go. It’s choosing what’s worth holding onto.
A searing exploration of love, loss, and learning to forgive yourself, What Stays Behind is a moving debut that will linger in your heart long after the final page.
