The Bridge to You

Evan Mercer left Willow Creek years ago, chasing city lights and career opportunities—but when life calls him home, he never expects to see Mia Langford again. The girl who knew all his secrets, shared all his childhood dreams, and held his heart in ways he didn't fully understand… is still there, waiting. Tasked with rebuilding Willow Creek's historic bridge, Evan and Mia are forced to work side by side. As the days stretch into nights of planning, laughter, and shared memories, they confront lingering feelings, unspoken desires, and the undeniable pull that has grown stronger with every year apart. But love isn't always simple. Past relationships, lingering doubts, and the fear of losing their friendship threaten to tear them apart—until a storm, a near-disaster, and quiet confessions beneath the stars force them to face the truth: their hearts have always been built for each other. The Bridge to You is a tender, slow-burning friends-to-lovers romance in Willow Creek. Full of warmth, charm, and heartfelt moments, it's a story about finding love where it's been waiting all along—and building a bridge strong enough to last a lifetime.
