Y/N left her small Virginia hometown to chase her dream of becoming a country singer, but no matter how successful she became, she always found her way back home. Especially because Virginia held the memories of her childhood sweetheart, Malachi Barton. From the age of two until seventeen, Y/N and Malachi were inseparable. They grew up together, fell in love, and thought they would always have each other—until Malachi’s Disney career exploded, sending him and his family to Los Angeles. Eight months ago, Malachi returned home for the holidays, and pictures of him standing near Y/N’s former best friend, McKenzie, appeared online. McKenzie was seven months pregnant, and her mysterious Instagram posts made Y/N believe the baby might be Malachi’s. Heartbroken and convinced he’d chosen someone else, Y/N poured her feelings into a country song called “Hey Dolly.” But Y/N couldn’t have been more wrong. Malachi has never been with McKenzie. In fact, he hates her because of the rumors she spread about Y/N years ago. And the baby’s father? Austin. The sweetest man Y/N has ever known—and the man who has secretly been in love with her for years. Now Y/N is home for the holidays, face-to-face with Malachi for the first time in eight months. Old feelings are coming back, Austin’s confession changes everything, and Y/N is caught between the boy who has always owned her heart and the man who has always loved her from the sidelines. Because sometimes, coming home means realizing the person you never stopped loving might still be waiting for you.
