She buried the love of her life. Then he walked back into her flower shop asking for just three weeks.
Three years after her husband disappeared, Lila Bennett has finally rebuilt her world. Her wildflower shop on the rocky coast of Maine has become her sanctuary - filled with salt air, blooming roses, and the quiet rhythm of a life she learned to live without him.
Until the day the shop bell rings and he stands in the doorway. Damaged. Determined. Carrying secrets that could shatter her all over again.
He's asking for three weeks. She gives him rules instead.
No promises. No sleeping in their old bed. And definitely no falling back in love.
What begins as cautious co-existence slowly blooms into something deeper, more passionate, and far more dangerous than either of them expected. Late-night talks on the patio, stolen glances across buckets of peonies, and the undeniable pull of a love that refuses to stay buried.
A tender, slow-burning second-chance romance about forgiveness, rediscovery, and the courage it takes to open your heart to the one person who once broke it. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of coastal Maine, When He Comes Home is for every woman who stopped waiting... and every man who finally earned his way back.
Perfect for fans of emotional contemporary romance, small-town love stories, and second chances that feel beautifully earned.
