Sometimes your life is split by a single decision.
I’ve spent every day of the last seven years regretting mine: he left, and I didn’t follow. A thousand letters went unanswered, my words like petals in the wind, spinning away into nothing, taking me with them.
But now he’s back.
I barely recognize the man he’s become, but I can still see a glimmer of the boy who asked me to be his forever, the boy I walked away from when I was young and afraid.
Maybe if he’d come home under better circumstances, he could speak to me without anger in his voice. Maybe if I’d said yes all those years ago, he’d look at me without the weight of rejection in his eyes. Maybe if things were different, we would have had a chance.
One regretted decision sent him away. One painful journey bought him back to me. I only wish I could keep him.
*A contemporary romance inspired by Jane Austen’s Persuasion*

This is Staci Hart's best book yet!! This isn't my first book by her. But, it was something completely new for her. I for one absolutely loved it. At only 8% I was deeply invested and crying and not ready for this to end.
Elliot and Wade where high school sweethearts. Once Elliot graduated high school she planned on following Wade anywhere he went in the army. But, when he wanted to change the plans Elliot couldn't just drop everything. When Wade left Elliot was devastated and realized she made the worst mistake of her life, she wrote him. For an entire year she wrote Wade begging him to forgive her and comeback for her. After year of silence she gave up.
Wade hasn't been home more then a day or two since the day he left without Elliot. 7yrs later he's back because his was diagnosed with cancer and few weeks to live. If that wasn't a kick to the gut, his sister wants her best friend by her side. Elliot. Wade agrees BC he knows his father is just as important to Elliot as he is to Wade and his sisters.
Being around each other is proving to be very difficult. They're all doing whatever they can to make Wade's dad peaceful. They're trying to stay outta each others way as much as possible. Only together for their small family activities. But, when things get hard on them they always grab onto the closet thing that can ground them. Each other.
This was so beautifully written. The beginning of every chapter had parts of a poem that set up the chapter. The secondary characters except for a few were great as well. Wade's father stole every scene he was in when he was with Wade or Elliot. I'm hoping and praying Staci continues writing more stories like this, BC she's a natural. It's another must read from this incredible author!
Author Bio
Staci has been a lot of things up to this point in her life: a graphic designer, an entrepreneur, a seamstress, a clothing and handbag designer, a waitress. Can't forget that. She's also been a mom, with three little girls who are sure to grow up to break a number of hearts. She's been a wife, even though she's certainly not the cleanest, or the best cook. She's also super, duper fun at a party, especially if she's been drinking whiskey. Her favorite word starts with f and ends with k.
From roots in Houston, to a seven year stint in Southern California, Staci and her family ended up settling somewhere in between and equally north, in Denver. They are new enough that snow is still magical. When she's not writing, she's sleeping, cleaning, or designing graphics.
