Loose Threads, (Paperback)

<p><strong>Emily Woods thought returning to Lovette, Texas would be her fresh start.</strong></p><p></p><p>After a brutal breakup and a pink slip in San Francisco, inheriting her beloved Aunt Helen's needlework shop feels like a lifeline. Lovette was her childhood refuge-the place where cold, distant parents couldn't reach her, where summers meant freedom, laughter, and two best friends who made her feel like she belonged.</p><p></p><p><strong>Then she crashes. Literally.</strong></p><p></p><p>The face staring down at her on the side of the road? Ben Wagner. Her former best friend. The guy who kissed her breathless the morning she left for college-then ghosted her completely. She thought he'd left town, but now he's the sheriff. Still annoyingly handsome. Still acting like that kiss never happened.</p><p></p><p><strong>Emily's got enough on her plate without dealing with him.</strong></p><p></p><p>The shop is hemorrhaging money. Aunt Helen's three meddling best friends have opinions about everything. And Ben keeps showing up-at the shop, at the diner, at her front door-like he has every right to be part of her life again.</p><p>He doesn't.</p><p></p><p><strong>Ben never thought Emily would come back. Not to <em>stay</em>.</strong></p><p></p><p>She was always meant for bigger things than Lovette. That kiss? It ruined him. He walked away because staying close to her-knowing she'd leave-would've destroyed him. But now she's here. Stubborn. Determined. Still the only woman who's ever made him forget how to breathe.</p><p></p><p><strong>Can Emily save the shop and forgive the past? It was a boy who broke her heart, but can she risk it all on the man?</strong></p><p></p><p>Or will Ben's fear that she'll leave again cost them both the future they never dared to dream of?</p>
