The Thanksgiving Truce. Enemies at the table, closer than ever - Janaya Hernandez

Emma Callahan never planned to return to Maple Ridge. But when her family's restaurant needs her, she finds herself back in the small town she left behind ... and face to face with the one man she never expected to see again. Lucas Bennett. Ten years ago, they were everything. Then one night changed it all. Now he owns the cafe across the street. He's built a life she doesn't recognize. And somehow, he's everywhere she turns. As Thanksgiving approaches, a town festival forces them into the same space, the same kitchen, and the same unresolved history. Old arguments resurface. New tension ignites. And the line between rivalry and something far more dangerous begins to blur. Because some stories don't end. They wait. And some feelings don't disappear. They just need the right moment to return.
