When the Past Comes Calling (Ravenwood Rising)

Stacy works in a small coastal café, content with the quiet rhythm of her life — until Jake, who carries a lonely past and a guarded heart, walks in one rainy morning. Their friendship becomes something deeper, a pull neither can resist. But Jake’s secret and Stacy’s fear of past abandonment threaten everything they’ve built. As storms both literal and emotional rise, they must decide whether love is worth risking everything for — and if forgiveness and trust can rebuild what was broken.
