The Art of Keeping You

At eighteen, Daisy and Sam were inseparable. He was the quiet boy who drew her portrait in secret. She was the loud girl who promised she’d never leave. But life got messy. Promises broke. And fifteen years later, Daisy returns to their hometown for her sister’s wedding — successful, polished, and desperately pretending she doesn’t remember. Sam is still there. Still quiet. Still drawing. He’s also a single father with calloused hands and tired eyes, and when Daisy sees him across the wedding reception, her heart stops. She expects anger. She expects silence. Instead, Sam hands her a worn sketchbook — the one he kept all these years. Every page is her. Every page is proof that he never forgot. Now Daisy must decide: walk away again, or stay and fight for the only love that ever felt like home. A deeply emotional second-chance romance about growing up, showing up, and learning to stay.
