She thought those old feelings were long buried, but as she and Hunter bond over their respective failed marriages, she can't deny something is bubbling under the surface. And when Oliver makes an unexpected return to Sweet Haven, unresolved feelings complicate things even further.

Where the Waves Whisper by Megsmcg07

Delaney James seemed to have it all-a Manhattan townhouse, a thriving career as a fashion journalist, and a handsome, high-powered husband, but when he announces he's leaving her, Delaney's picture-perfect life unravels. Heartbroken and in need of a fresh start, she packs her bags and returns to her small hometown in North Carolina, telling herself it's just temporary - a place to regroup and figure out her next move. She had left this town years ago to chase bigger dreams, but home hasn't forgotten her. The familiar faces and slow pace of life begin to pull at her in unexpected ways. She reconnects with old friends, enjoys quiet coffee dates, and takes walks through the neighborhood where she grew up, rediscovering parts of herself that had been buried beneath years of ambition. And then there's Greyson McKinnie-the one who broke her heart. No longer the carefree boy she remembers, Greyson is now a man carrying his own regrets. Their encounters are charged with unresolved tension, and Delaney quickly realizes her feelings for him are not as distant as she'd hoped. Caught between the life she built in New York and the comfort of home, Delaney must confront old wounds, rekindle lost dreams, and decide whether risking everything for a second chance at love will lead her to the happiness she truly desires. A slow-burn, dual POV, second chance romance.
