Here To Stay

Madison Toussaint has spent most of her life existing rather than truly living. On paper, she has everything — stability, success, and a carefully structured life — but behind it all is a quiet longing for more. More freedom. More purpose. More life. So when she takes the biggest leap she’s ever dared and opens the art gallery she’s always dreamed of, she never expects it to come with reopening a chapter she thought was long closed. Because walking back into her world is the one man she never truly let go of. Isaiah Davenport. Back in Houston, a city marked by grief and regret, Isaiah never planned to stay long. His life and the future he built are waiting elsewhere. But the moment he sees Madison again, one truth becomes impossible to ignore: What they had was never as finished as they believed. Drawn together by history and something deeper they can’t quite name, they find themselves navigating the fragile space between who they were and who they’ve become. As old feelings resurface, so do the truths they once avoided and the wounds they never fully healed. Now, standing at the intersection of past and present, they must face the question neither of them can outrun: Can love be rebuilt on broken ground… or will the weight of what they’ve lost keep them apart for good? A heartfelt, dual-POV romance about forgiveness, grace, and the courage to choose love again. Perfect for readers who love: Second chance romance Emotional, character driven storytelling All the feels with low spice Love stories rooted in grace
