Audrey Carlan has created a gem of a story about sisterhood, love, and second chances.” —Lexi Ryan on What the Heart Wants

A heartwarming, wry and deeply emotional story of the power of sisterhood, trusting your heart and finding forever.

“Think big. Live out loud.”

When their mother passed away a decade ago, Evie Ross and her sister, Suda Kaye, were each left a stack of letters, one to be opened every year on their birthday. While the letters encouraged Suda Kaye’s wanderlust, taking her away from Evie for years, their free-spirited mother’s wish for her more cautious daughter was to discover what her heart truly desires. But steadfast Evie discovered long ago that wishes rarely come true. A successful life stems from planning, building a stable career—and keeping your heart guarded at all costs.

Now, with her sister home again, Evie’s life can finally return to normal, until the one person she’s been avoiding is suddenly everywhere. Milo Chavis is the only man Evie’s ever wanted with all her heart, her desire for him matched only by the shock that he might want her, too. But if Evie’s learned anything over the years, it’s that you can’t count on people to stick around.

Overwhelmed, Evie retreats to the security she’s worked hard to build, but when a monumental family secret upends her whole world, Evie is forced to follow her heart and trust it will lead her right where she belongs.
