Goodbye, Mr. Hayes

For ten years, Elodie Miller secretly loved her guardian, Hugo Hayes. On her eighteenth birthday, she finally confessed—and he tore her painting, her heart, and her last shred of hope to pieces. She fled London for New York, determined to rebuild herself far from his shadow. Only after she vanished did Hugo realize what he'd lost. He chased her across the ocean, begging for forgiveness. But some wounds don't heal with a late apology. Seven years later, Elodie returns—no longer the girl who loved him, but the woman who outgrew him.
