Back to the Truth

by Avery Winslow

The Second Time Around · Book 5

Sage Smith inherited forty acres of mountain land from her father, and discovered someone already built a ranch on it. That someone is Wells Dempsey, her ex-boyfriend from eight years ago. The man she left without explanation, convinced she'd made the right choice. Now she's broke, sleeping in her car, and desperate to sell the land so she can disappear again. Wells offers to buy her out. It should be simple. But nothing about Wells Dempsey has ever been simple. He gives her a job when she has nothing. His seven-year-old daughter adopts her like family. And despite everything between them, despite the years apart and the secrets neither of them is ready to face, he looks at her like he never stopped loving her. Sage has spent her whole life running from anything that feels permanent. From small-town expectations, from complicated relationships, from her father's mistakes. But this time, running might cost her the only thing she's ever really wanted. The place where she belongs. And the man who's been waiting for her to come home.
