When the Past Comes Home

Cassie Dixon feels trapped-by her crumbling marriage, by the suffocating charm of Galen Valley, and by a past she thought she left behind in Chicago. Desperate for escape, she begins searching for a way out-out of the town, out of her relationship, and out of the life that no longer feels like hers.

But a fleeting attraction to a charming high school drama teacher complicates everything, setting off a spark that threatens to ignite more than just her own life. As emotions spiral and lines blur, her choices begin to unravel his carefully built world too.

And then her past comes calling.

When someone from her Chicago days resurfaces with dangerous intentions, it sets off a chain reaction of betrayal, scandal, and peril that pulls in her husband, town officials, and residents she once believed were innocent. Cassie soon discovers that corruption runs deep-even in picturesque places like Galen Valley-and sometimes, the smallest towns carry the biggest secrets.

Caught between the wreckage of what was and the reckoning of whats to come, Cassie must confront the truth about her past, her desires, and the cost of every choice shes made.

Because when the past comes home... it brings everything with it.
