Delanie Fletcher was supposed to be a star. Instead, one viral disaster has left her career in ashes, her love life in ruins, and her reputation in the hands of strangers with internet access. Returning to Peace Crossing to bury her grandmother feels like the universe rubbing it in.
Then she discovers Nan’s final gift: a kids’ play that needs a director. And how could she say no to the woman who put her on a stage? The only problem is Caleb Toews. Her high school sweetheart. The one she left behind. Now a single dad with a quiet life, the audacity to still look at her like she hung the moon, and the perfect skills to step in as her assistant director.
Between chaotic rehearsals, a cast of scene-stealing kids, and a small town that never forgot they were meant to be together, Delanie realizes the spark between her and Caleb never really died. But Nan traded the spotlight for love and a life behind the scenes—a sacrifice Delanie has never wanted to make. Now, with her heart torn between two very different worlds, can she and Caleb find a future on the same stage?
