Things That Break Us: An Emotional Second Chance Romance With Forced Proxim-ity And Family Secrets

Some homes keep memories. Others keep the people who broke your heart.

Mara Holloway came home for one reason—to bury her grandmother, settle the estate, and leave before old wounds could reopen.
She never expected to find Eli Mercer waiting inside the family home.
The man she once loved.
The man she never truly forgot.
The man she never wanted to see again.
When Rose Holloway's shocking final will is revealed, Mara and Eli are given an impossible choice: spend six weeks living together while restoring the century-old Bramble House and hosting one final community gala—or lose the family estate forever to developers.
Forced beneath the same roof, surrounded by memories neither of them escaped, Mara and Eli must navigate unfinished conversations, old betrayals, hidden family secrets, and the undeniable attraction that never truly disappeared.
But some heartbreaks don't stay buried.
And some truths have the power to change everything they believed about the past.
As the walls of Bramble House begin to heal, Mara and Eli discover that rebuilding a home may be easier than rebuilding two broken hearts.
Can love survive the truth that tore them apart...
...or are some things simply too broken to mend?
