Book One of The Willow Bend Chronicles
by Tequilla Havens
Seven years ago, Kaius Merrick walked away from everything-his small-town roots, his family, and the girl he promised forever. Now a worn-down baseball star haunted by regrets and whispers he can't explain, he returns to Willow Bend... and to Avaline Steele.
Ava has spent those same years trying to rebuild what was left behind-her bookstore, her peace, her belief that love can survive loss. But when Kai steps back into her life, so does something else. The lights flicker. The air shifts. And in the scent of cinnamon and the creak of old floorboards, she swears she hears her grandmother's voice again.
In a town where history clings to every wall and some goodbyes never quite take, Ava and Kai must confront the ghosts of who they were-and the ones who never left.
The Long Game is a lyrical, small-town second-chance romance touched by memory, mystery, and the supernatural-the story of two hearts learning that sometimes, the past isn't finished with you until you finish it first.
