Finley by Ella Frank

One note. Six words. A second chance.

Seven years ago, Daniel Finley left Florida behind for the bright lights and demanding pace of Chicago, building a life that came at the cost of family, friendship—and love.
But on his 30th birthday, a single note pulls him back home. Six words from Brantley Hayes, the man he’s never forgotten.
Brantley thought he had everything; a fulfilling career, loyal friends, and an idyllic beachfront sanctuary. Yet something—or rather, someone—has always been missing. Honoring a promise made long ago, he calls Daniel back, hoping to reclaim what they lost.
But Daniel isn’t the same person who left, and tearing down the walls around his heart won’t be easy. Sometimes, the first step home is also the hardest.

Finley is the first novel in the Sunset Cove Series and a standalone.
