First Love Last Love

Summary

Vida Jamison has made a life out of steadiness: a son she adores, a home carefully rebuilt after loss. She favors the reliable, the unsurprising—the things that hold. But all it takes is a winter storm, a chance encounter, and a familiar voice to turn certainty into quicksand.

Elijah Beck, her first love and most enduring complication, is back. Now a famous musician with a public unraveling behind him, he’s still the one person who has always known how to get under her skin. For all his talent and magnetism, Elijah has spent a lifetime being wanted but not quite held—by the industry that made him famous, by the fans who adored him from afar.

Then an accident changes the terms of their reunion, landing them both in the hospital. As recovery pulls them into each other’s daily lives, Vida has to face the question she’s spent two decades avoiding: Is Elijah her greatest mistake or the love she was always meant to find again?

Nostalgia is a dangerous thing. The past can pull you under just as easily as it can set you free.

“Eschews the glamour of fame and fortune to instead root itself in the complications of found family, lingering romance, and the daunting decisions that can shape the rest of one’s life.”—Rachel Koller Croft, USA Today bestselling author
