What We Left Behind (Fayetteville Forever Book 1)

Emma returns to Fayetteville University, her alma mater, for a fresh start as a professor of women’s history. There, she faces Nathan, the college sweetheart who broke her heart. After a devastating loss, Nathan shut down and pushed Emma out of his life. Emma thought she had left both him and her feelings behind. Seeing him after all these years awakens a connection she thought was gone, and a fear that trusting him again will only lead to heartbreak.

Nathan, a professor of literature, never stopped loving Emma. But he knows his grief pushed her away, and when she left town, so did a piece of him. Seeing her during a meeting shocks him with the same electricity they once felt, and he cannot ignore how much he still wants her back. He tries to stay away, but they keep being pulled back together. He must prove he has changed after all these years, yet Emma may never trust him enough to let him back in. Will another loss make Nathan repeat his old pattern?
