We Used to Climb Trees

Two broken hearts. One happy ending.

Phoebe McAllister is back in Swan Falls with one goal: pack up her late parents’ home, sell it, and leave. If she doesn’t, the fashion boutiques she’s poured her heart into could collapse, and financial ruin will follow. But her estranged brother, Damien, is determined to drag his feet, and if she’s to succeed, she’ll need a little backup.

Enter Adam Tate—her brother’s best friend and the boy who broke her heart. Once her partner in every childhood adventure, from climbing trees to swimming at the lake, Adam now lives across the street, a bittersweet reminder of the wonder Swan Falls once held and the heartbreak that drove her away.

As Phoebe wrestles with family drama and old wounds, she finds the townsfolk rallying around her, showing her the magic she once loved in Swan Falls. But if she wants answers—and maybe a shot at healing—she’ll have to face Adam, and the truth they’ve both buried for years.

Can Phoebe let go of old hurts and rediscover the place—and the man—that shaped her, or will the secrets between them destroy her second chance?

We Used to Climb Trees is a story of rediscovering love, risking the heart, and finding home when you least expect it.

Is a heart wrapped in regret, a heart barely beating?
