Pages of Our Past by Emily Scotto

Blair Cunningham didn’t just leave town; she burned every bridge behind her. Chasing a dream her parents didn’t understand and running from a secret too painful to speak, she built a quiet life far away. But when she returns home to help her best friend through a difficult pregnancy, the last person she expects to see behind the bar is Greyson Shaw, her first crush, her almost, her what-if.

Now, Greyson is all grown up. Broader shoulders. Rougher edges. The same smoldering eyes that used to make her lose her breath. And he remembers everything.

What starts as cautious reconnection turns into late nights, slow touches, and the heat Blair’s spent years trying to forget. But when the truth about her past threatens to rip everything apart, including Greyson’s own family, she’ll have to choose between protecting her heart or finally surrendering it. He’s not just the man she used to dream about. He’s the one who makes her feel like coming home might not be so scary after all.
