Three years ago, Zuri Laurent walked away from the man she loved—and the future Xavier King never seemed ready to choose.

Since then, she has rebuilt her life without him. Her career is thriving, her peace is protected, and she has no intention of reopening a door she fought hard to close.

Then, on the crowded night before Thanksgiving, a last-minute grocery run brings her face-to-face with the one person she never expected to see again.

Xavier knows an apology cannot erase the past. He also knows he may never get another chance to prove that he is no longer the man who let fear and silence cost him everything. This time, he is ready to show up, speak clearly, and fight for the woman who has always felt like home.

As old feelings resurface and the holidays draw them closer, Zuri must decide whether Xavier has truly changed—or whether returning to him will cost her the peace she worked so hard to find.

Sometimes love deserves a second chance. But coming home means trusting that you will not be left behind again.
