Grayson by Kate Weiss

Emily:
It’s been seven years since I left Pink Ridge in a hurry.
Seven years since I ran away from my sister, from my mom, and from him.
When mom passes, it’s time to face the music and head back to the small town where I grew up.
The small town where I started a family with Grayson.
Or at least, we tried.
I’m not excited about returning. About facing up to old memories and old wounds.
I’m even less enthusiastic about seeing Gray.
Partly because I broke his heart when I took off running.
And partly because, no matter how hard you try, running away from your problems doesn’t solve them.

Grayson:
Life’s sort of been on pause since Emily left.
I haven’t looked at another woman since.
How could I? Emily broke my damn heart when she disappeared.
While I miss her like crazy, seeing Emily in Pink Ridge again is hard to handle.
The second she comes back, it’s like the last seven years never happened.
It’s as if we were never apart.
I have no idea if she’s going to stick around.
But for now, I’ll take any opportunity I can to spend even a shred of time with the love of my life.
