When You Were Here A Second Chance Romance

Six years ago, Nathaniel Hart left Seattle—and Maya Chen—for the artistic dream of Paris. Now he's back, and Maya must decide if love deserves a second chance.

Maya Chen has spent two years convincing herself she's moved on. She's built a successful career, created a life she's proud of, and learned to be okay alone. Then she walks into a gallery opening and comes face-to-face with the one person she never expected to see again.

Nate didn't just come back to Seattle for an exhibition. He came back for her.

But some wounds run deep. Maya knows exactly how it feels to be left behind, to watch someone choose their dreams over her heart. And when Nate asks for another chance, she's forced to choose between protecting herself and risking everything on the man who already broke her once.

As they navigate the complicated terrain between past and present, Maya and Nate must answer the question that terrifies them both: Can love survive six years of distance, a lifetime of fear, and the courage it takes to try again?

A sweeping romance about lost love, second chances, and learning that sometimes the bravest thing you can do is trust your heart one more time.

Perfect for readers who love emotional depth, authentic relationships, and romance that feels real.
