The Forever One

She’s stubborn, determined and coming back from a dark place. He’s a single dad worried about making the right choices.

I’ve made my share of mistakes—and I’ve paid for them. Starting over in my hometown is supposed to be my clean slate, my chance to rebuild a life that feels like mine again. No distractions. No risks.

Then I meet Linc Turner. He’s kind, steady, and carrying scars of his own. A widowed single dad who’s survived more than most men ever could. I tell myself we’re too different, that love isn’t something broken people get to have twice.

But the more time we spend together, the more I start to believe in second chances. In healing. In forever.

Because maybe love doesn’t just fix what’s shattered—it helps us become whole again.
