Call it love

When the past and present collide, can love save the future?

Chase Allen can make anything grow—except the future he once imagined

Running his small-town nursery keeps him busy but grounded. Every seed planted is like a fresh start—a way to honor the legacy he inherited and focus on the future instead of the heartache he buried. But all of that changes the moment she returns to Sterling Mill. Anna, his high school sweetheart, the girl who broke his heart and disappeared, has returned, and it feels like someone’s ripped up his carefully tended world.

Anna Washington thought she could always return home—until she tried

Widowed, wary, and wrecked, she’s a far cry from the bright-eyed girl she once was. Life has knocked her down more times than she cares to admit, and now she’s just trying to piece herself back together. When her ex offers her a job with a place to stay, she hesitates, but with nowhere else to turn, she reluctantly accepts. Living so close to Chase is a constant reminder of everything she once dreamed of. Yet, as old feelings resurface and new opportunities bloom, Anna wonders if she might finally find the strength to stand on her own.

Together, Chase and Anna navigate the tangled roots of their history.

Maybe it’s a shot at closure. Maybe it’s a chance to become friends again. Or maybe—just maybe—they can still Call It Love.
