Someone Like You
Synopsis
Oakley has built her life on control—quiet routines, clear boundaries, and a firm grip on anything that might unravel her carefully ordered world. But when her brother abandons his family and leaves behind a broken-down truck in her driveway, chaos arrives with him
.
And so does Lincoln.
Lincoln has always been Oakley’s greatest weakness—the boy who kissed her first, broke her trust, and left behind years of unanswered questions. Now he’s back, older, steadier… and determined not to walk away again. When a simple repair turns into an extended stay under her roof, old tension reignites into something far more dangerous: something real.
But Lincoln is keeping secrets.
As their connection deepens into something intimate and undeniable, the truth threatens to destroy everything they’re rebuilding. Oakley must decide if she can risk her heart on a man who once shattered it—or if some patterns are doomed to repeat, no matter how much you want them to change.
Set against the warmth of small-town life and the vivid backdrop of Mexico’s coastal beauty, Someone Like You is a deeply emotional, slow-burn romance about second chances, buried truths, and the courage it takes to choose love when it’s anything but safe.
Because sometimes the person who broke you…
is the only one who can help you heal.
