Backward Pieces - Paperback

Three guardians. Two lovebirds.

When Emerson McCoy reconnects with a boy from her foster care past, it feels like a second chance she never thought she'd have. Now living in the Outer Banks, he offers her something new-sunlit days, ocean air, and the possibility of love.

But Emerson knows better than to trust happiness too easily.

Haunted by a childhood marked by instability and loss, Emerson has spent years burying the truth of who she is and where she's come from. As their relationship deepens, so does the risk. Because some secrets don't stay hidden forever.

If the past resurfaces, it may not just threaten their future-it could shatter it completely.
