#Teaser 


#ComingSoon





A Hollywood heartbreaker. A small town. The girl he never should have left.

 

 π˜Ό π™Žπ™žπ™’π™₯π™‘π™š π™‡π™€π™«π™š is HERE, and it is giving everything.

 

"An irresistible combination ...Sweet temptation meets spicy romance ... Oliver and Kassie are what dreams are made of.  Unexpected, enduring and unforgettable..." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)


Oliver Hart had it all — the fame, the roles, the life most people only dream about.

 

Except he never stopped thinking about Kassie.

 

Now he's back in Richton, and she's right there, and she still has no idea how much he never let go.

I think Oliver has something else in mind. πŸ€” Besides dinner…

#Excerpt

“Just being honest,” I insisted. “You said you liked honesty. And that was the most delicious pie I’ve ever had. And that mouth of—”


She whirled around, her eyes no longer soft. She glared at me. “Keep it to yourself. And no flirting, funny stuff, or innuendos, Oliver Wendall Hart. You hear me?”


She was gorgeous when she was annoyed. Her eyes flashed emerald, her cheeks rosy, and her voice lower than normal. But I knew when not to push. I widened my eyes in mock fear. “Oh, full name. No flirting, funny stuff, or teasing. Got it.”


“Good.” She turned to head to the door, but I caught it. A glimmer of a smile on her face. A smile she was trying to hide.


But I saw it.


And I could work with that.






He left Richton to become a star. He's coming back to face the one he never forgot.

Oliver Hart
A well-known, leading Hollywood heartthrob is suddenly on the downslide.
Gossip and whispers of trouble follow him these days.
His latest project is yanked away, and a new role is offered to him.
One that sends him back home to the small town of Richton.
To the location of his greatest regret.
To where she is.

Kassie Brennan
The girl he once loved.
The one he left behind.
How will she react when she discovers he’s there?
Closer than either one of them realized?
Can the past stay in the past?
Or will their hearts decide their future?

Author’s Note: Get ready to fall all over again — for the Hollywood heartbreaker who never forgot the girl he left behind, and the woman still guarding the heart he once held. Small town. Big feelings. Second chances don't come easy — but some loves were always meant to find their way home.


Book 2 in the Return to Richton series. July 22, 2026. eBook, paperback & audiobook.

Okay so. They were JUST running lines in a barn. Totally professional. Nothing to see here. 

Until Mr. Hollywood decided to “improvise.”

He says he only kissed her character. HER CHARACTER. Suuure, Oliver. 

The second-chance, it-was-always-you, he-left-and-came-back-for-her brain rot is REAL with this one — and I need July 22 to hurry up.
