A breathtaking second-chance romance set beneath the olive trees of Evervale.

The olive trees of Evervale have seen it all—first love, quiet longing, and the night everything fell apart.

In the tight-knit small town of Evervale, Cadie's world has always revolved around her twin brother, Alex, and his best friend, Tommy. Tommy is the boy next door. Her constant. The one whose laughter lingers and whose stolen glances spark feelings she's never been brave enough to name.

As their final year of high school unfolds, Cadie balances on the edge of something more. Their friendship hums with unspoken want—until a devastating tragedy shatters everything. Overwhelmed by grief and guilt, Cadie runs, leaving behind the town she loves... and the boy she never stopped loving.

Four years later, Cadie returns home. Evervale feels smaller, quieter—but Tommy is still there, all the feelings they buried simmering just beneath the surface. Old sparks reignite, but time has changed them both, and the weight of what was lost still stands between them.

Can Cadie face the pain she's been carrying and risk her heart again?
Or will fear and missed chances keep her and Tommy forever out of reach?
