Alex Carter thought he'd left Willow Creek and its painful memories behind forever. Five years after he walked away without a word, he's forced to return, a stranger in the town that was once his home. The streets are the same, filled with whispers of a life he carefully buried. But one face pulls him from the shadows: Elisa. The bookstore she now runs is a fortress of old memories, and the girl he left behind is now a woman, her quiet beauty hiding a fierce strength he never knew.?Their reunion is a dance of hesitation and unspoken words.
The air between them is thick with all the questions he never answered and all the tears she cried. He sees the pain he caused in her eyes, but he also sees a flicker of the girl he fell in love with-a flicker he knows he must fight to reignite.?But Willow Creek has moved on, and so has Elisa. Daniel, a man of quiet stability and unwavering support, has been her rock. He saw her through the difficult times and now stands as a gentle but firm barrier between Alex and the life he wants to reclaim.
The tension between the two men is palpable, a silent war for the heart of the woman caught in the middle.?As Alex and Elisa are pulled back into each other's orbit, old wounds are reopened, and new secrets are revealed. Alex must confront the very reason he left-a painful choice he believed was for her own good. But his past is not the only thing at stake. The mysterious, threatening messages Elisa receives hint that the shadows he thought he'd escaped are closer than he thinks.?A Kiss We Never Planned is a powerful story of second chances, long-held secrets, and the courage it takes to rewrite the past.
As Alex fights for forgiveness and Elisa confronts a choice between the man who was her past and the man who could be her future, they must both discover if a love this strong can survive the ghosts that haunt them and build a future worth fighting
