My Ex's Daughter Wore My Jacket

Fifty years ago, Evelyn Grant left Vera with words that sounded like a life sentence: live without me. Vera stopped living. She opened Black Coffee, served no sugar, collected nothing, loved no one. Then Evelyn’s daughter Josie walks in—cold, reckless, impossible to forget. Vera pushes her away, but every jacket Josie forgets becomes another reason to stay. When Evelyn returns to Pine Ridge, she sees the truth: the daughter she abandoned is the only person who makes Vera want tomorrow. Evelyn can explain, beg, or regret. But Vera isn’t hers anymore.
