NEW: The Way We Were

Six years ago, Cadence Hall shattered Joshua Carter with a single betrayal, and she has carried the weight of that moment ever since. She convinced herself it was better this way: better for him, safer for her.

But coming back to Westbridge, Alberta, brings her face-to-face with a truth she isn’t ready for: Josh isn’t angry or cold. He’s warm, forgiving, and somehow still able to look at her like she’s worth choosing.

As sparks reignite and old wounds finally surface, they’re forced to confront the messy, intimate work of healing both together and apart. And the chemistry that once pulled them under hasn’t faded with time; it’s only grown deeper.

As they navigate old feelings and new flames, she must face the hardest truth—Joshua may be willing to forgive her, but healing won’t happen until she forgives herself.

A story of rekindled desire, emotional reckoning, and learning to be worthy of the love you want.

And some loves are worth fighting your way back to.

Because sometimes, love doesn’t end.
It just waits. Quietly. Until the timing is right.
