'Pure magic' ELSIE SILVER
'Had me breathless until I turned the last page' ELENA ARMAS
'I've never read romance like this before' RACHEL LYNN SOLOMON
This time they'll get it right . . .
Wren and Ellis Byrd fell in love as kids, had their son Sam when they were only teenagers, and built a life together in the coastal town of Spunes, Oregon. They were made for one another . . . until they fell apart.
Now divorced and in their 30s, Wren runs the bakery in town, while Ellis works as a firefighter. They live separate lives, though they are hardly off each other's minds.
When Sam gets accepted into college and the pair agree to help him move in together, Ellis convinces Wren to take an extended road trip back to Spunes with him to see if they can give their relationship one last chance. Amid the gorgeous scenery of the California coastline, dreamy destinations, and a great deal of long-yearned-for proximity, Wren starts to think it just might be possible. But the two still have to contend with their tumultuous past in order to move forward. And when spoken words fail, sometimes the written word must bridge the gap.
Will they make the most of what's left of forever?
Or will they let each other go for good?

Reviews / Votes
You can't help but ache for Ellis and Wren. Their longing for each other leaps off the page. A truly heartfelt read, brimming with wit and charm -- K.A. Tucker, <i>USA Today</i> and Internationally bestselling author of <i>The Simple Wild</i> An impeccable second chance romance that snatched me off real life and had me breathless until I turned the last page. I'm hopeless when it comes to beautiful prose that makes the world quiet around me, but pair that with a nice dose of angst, spine-tingling steam, and the kind of love that's etched onto your heart, and I'm yours forever. Truly. That's how long I plan on keeping Ellis and Wren's story safely tucked against my chest. -- Elena Armas, <i>Sunday Times</i> bestselling author of <i>The Spanish Love Deception</i> Left of Forever packs such an emotional punch . . . I loved watching Wren and Ellis find their way back to each other, both through their letters where they could express some of their truest feelings and through the time they spent together. (And oh, the time they spent together!) I would know a Tarah DeWitt romance anywhere -- Alicia Thompson, <i>USA Today</i> bestselling author of <i>The Art of Catching Feelings</i> A testament to the power of a second chance romance . . . gorgeous, tender, and filled with adorable, lovable, smoldering hope. It's the kind of book that you wish you could live in, and I finished it feeling like an honorary member of the loyal (and nosy) Byrd family, and an honorary citizen of Spunes, Oregon - plus very ready to find a stoic firefighter to bake something for. Five stars! -- Sierra Simone, <i>USA Today</i> bestselling author A uniquely immersive love story, with writing that's both stunningly lyrical and side-splittingly hilarious. I've never read a romance like this before, one so intimate and lived-in, with characters who grab your heart on page one and never let go. Tarah DeWitt is a master of emotion -- Rachel Lynn Solomon, <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>Weather Girl</i>More details
