When Natalie Choi left Sable Point-and me-seven years ago, she took my heart with her. Now she's back for her father's funeral, and the sight of her hits harder than a summer storm. I should keep my distance. Focus on saving my family's struggling orchard. Instead, I'm falling for her all over again.

But Natalie's hiding something. The orchard's finances don't add up, and she knows why. I need to protect my family's legacy, even if it means guarding my heart from the only woman who's ever owned it. Problem is, I'm finding it impossible to keep my walls up when she looks at me like she never stopped loving me either.

Coming home to Sable Point was supposed to be temporary-just long enough to settle my late father's affairs. I didn't expect to find his accounting firm in chaos, or the orchard owned by my first love on the brink of financial ruin. And I definitely didn't expect Jasper Everton to still make my heart race after all these years.

As I dig deeper into the books, I uncover mistakes that could destroy everything the Evertons have built. Keeping the truth from Jasper feels wrong, but telling him could shatter our fragile second chance. Now I have to choose: run away again, or stay and fight for the future I was too scared to want before-with the man I never should have left.

Reclaimed Roots is first interconnected standalone in the Sable Point series with a guaranteed HEA.
