Five years ago, Eden Calloway walked away from everything-her small hometown, her art, and most painfully, Jace Delaney, the man she loved and couldn't hold onto. Their relationship had been passionate, consuming, and ultimately unsustainable. When the gallery they built together went up in flames, so did everything between them.

Now, returning home for her sister's baby shower, Eden doesn't expect to run into Jace-or to find the fire between them still quietly smoldering. What begins as an uneasy reunion quickly unearths buried feelings, unspoken regrets, and the ache of what was never resolved.

As the two navigate shared spaces, long-overdue conversations, and the steady pull of old love, Eden and Jace discover that what broke them before might not be what keeps them apart now. But love, like fire, can either destroy or warm-depending on how you hold it.

With careful steps and tentative hope, they begin again-not as who they were, but as who they've become. And when Eden is offered a dream job in another city, both must face the ultimate question: can love truly last when it's chosen, not just remembered?
