Wellness Influencer, Lily Long, appears to have it all together now. A decade ago she left her small town and her teen-marriage behind, starting over...and over...and over. Searching for a place to belong she's constantly trying to to fit the expectations others seem to have of her.

River knows old secrets could destroy his chances with the one who got away.

River Hendrix, is an anxious shell of his old goofball self. After taking over the family business from his ailing father, he has worked diligently to prove he's worthy and capable of growing their multi-generation town legacy. This single-minded pursuit might have come at the cost of his personal life, but what does it matter when the girl of his dreams left town long ago?

Now Lily is returning to Peacock Springs to celebrate their friend's engagement. Will Lily's carefully curated facade survive the close-up scrutiny of those who love her best? Will River find the confidence to admit to her how he's always felt? Luckily their meddling friends see this opportunity to bring Lily home, help River relax, and reunite their little "fr-amily." That is, so long as everyone can survive the fallout of the secret River's held onto and a weird town mandate they can't make go away.

It is the first book in a series of interconnected romantic traum-com stories, exploring human stress response behavior. Set in Peacock Springs, NJ, they highlight healing through laughter and love.
