Missed Sunrise (Alternate Cover)

Fall back into the atmospheric world of Coastal Mississippi, where the charm of small-town life meets a slow-burn love story of self-worth, found family, and mutual pining. When Cody Desmond returns to the small coastal town of Bay Springs, Mississippi after a disastrous six months-long stint working aboard a cruise ship, he finds himself uncertain of his future and place in the world. With his first real relationship sunk beneath the waves and his sense of self adrift, Cody grapples with feelings of inadequacy and a gnawing fear that he may never be enough. And with just one glimpse of Liem Lott‘s mischievous smile, the stakes become even higher. A ray of sunshine with a knack for crafting beauty from chaos, Liem and his endless reserve of kindness have been a source of peace for Cody since they first met. With a vow to not ruin this fresh start, Cody faces an uphill struggle to prove to himself that he‘s worthy of the life and love Liem offers. While Liem‘s presence serves as both a guiding light and a source of temptation, Cody‘s fears and old wounds cast a shadow on the possibility of a future he‘s long thought out of reach. As family emergencies and personal demons test the strength of their connection, Cody and Liem are caught in a whirlwind of right person, wrong time. In this heartfelt sequel to Lady Luck, Lane O‘Neil delivers an M/M slow-burn romance rich with small-town charm, steam, and the magic of finding love amidst life‘s storms. Will Cody and Liem‘s connection hold true, or will they miss their chance at the life together they‘ve both been waiting for? Missed Sunrise is a swoonworthy story of patience, healing, and the profound impact of finding the person who makes you believe in the possibilities of each sunrise.
