That One Night by Carrie Elks

She’s back in her hometown with a shattered heart, a suitcase full of secrets, and no idea how to put herself back together…

After discovering her fiancé’s ultimate betrayal, Emery Reed returns to the only place that ever felt like home. Her family’s crumbling farm in Hartson’s Creek.

She tells everyone she’s just here for the summer. But what she doesn’t say is that the wedding’s off. Or that the life she spent ten years building is gone.

Most days, it’s all she can do to breathe under the weight of everyone’s expectations.

Then she meets him. Hendrix Hartson. The grumpy, tattooed neighbor who’s just as guarded as she is broken. And he makes her feel something she thought she’d lost for good. Hope.

But Emery isn’t the sweet, straightforward girl he thinks she is. And if the truth comes out, it could break them both.

Because Emery’s heart isn’t just bruised. It’s fractured. Fragile.

And falling for him might be the final break.
