She's got a secret.
It's been ten years since the worst summer of Daphne Wyndham's life, when she fled far and fast from the place she called home. Ten long years since a quiet boy slipped a wedding ring on her finger and told her to chase her dreams. But when the dreams she chased start losing their allure and her best friend calls with exciting news, she decides it's time to face her past.
The last thing she expected was to discover that the sweet, awkward boy she married in secret is now a stoic, thoughtful man who wants nothing more than to stand at her side. But after a lifetime of running, Daphne's not sure she knows how to stop.
He's a man who keeps his promises.
Bowen Campbell has spent a decade trying not to think about the wife no one knows he has. But when their best friends get engaged, Daphne comes roaring back into his life to help plan the wedding. She's grown from a heartbroken girl into a woman who makes his heart race, but not even her new glasses can hide the familiar lost look in her eyes-a look that makes him fall hard and fast for the wife he was never supposed to keep.
He might not be strong enough to let her go a second time, but he once vowed he'd never ask her to stay.
If they want a chance at forever, they'll have to be brave enough to use their words.
