The Return: The heart-wrenching new novel from the bestselling author of The Not

Injured army doctor, Trevor, returns to North Carolina to the dilapidated cabin inherited from his grandfather. He isn’t prepared to fall in love, yet from their very first encounter, Trevor feels a deep connection with deputy sheriff Natalie Masterson. Though she seems to reciprocate his feelings, she remains distant. Further complicating his stay is the presence of a sullen teenage girl, Callie. Claiming to be 17, she works at the local store and keeps to herself. Discovering that she was once befriended by his grandfather, Trevor hopes Callie can shed light on the circumstances of his grandfather’s death, but she offers few clues – until a crisis triggers a race that will uncover the true nature of Callie’s past. In his quest to unravel Natalie and Callie’s secrets, Trevor will learn the true meaning of love and forgiveness – and that often, to move forward we must return to the place where it all began.
