Preslaysa Williams, returns to the Lowcountry with a heartwarming friends-to-lovers story about the courage to fall in love again.
Avila Rogers' mother kicked her out of the house as a teenager when a one-night stand left her pregnant. So, when her mother passes away and Avila must return to Myrtle Beach to get her mother's house ready to put on the market, her feelings are complicated, to say the least.
Things get even more complicated when she runs into her childhood friend, Trevor, who is now a professor at the nearby HBCU. Years ago, when Trevor left Myrtle Beach to attend Hampton University, Avila felt abandoned, but it's clear that their connection hasn't faded... and may even be something more than the friendship they once shared. As Trevor supports Avila in the wake of her mother's passing, they have to deal with the feelings that they have for one another. Avila is wary of trusting others, she's used to taking care of herself and her daughter, but could Trevor hold the key to opening her heart?
