Wren Ashford doesn't believe in happily ever after.
She has photographic evidence that love doesn't last - a shoebox of pictures from the family she used to have, before her father's affair turned forever into a broken promise. So when she's sent to spend the summer with him in a town she's never asked to belong to, she plans to do exactly what she always does: keep her camera close, her guard closer, and count down the days until she can leave. Then she meets Theo Kessler - steady, unshakably kind, and infuriatingly hard to keep at a distance. He doesn't try to fix her. He just refuses to leave, even when she pushes. For the first time in five years, Wren has to decide if she's brave enough to want something she can't guarantee will last - a father worth forgiving, a boy worth trusting, and a version of happily ever after that isn't a promise at all, but a choice two people keep making, one imperfect day at a time.
A love story about learning that love was never the guarantee - staying was.
