We Used to Climb Trees by Kirsty Davis

Returning to Swan Falls was never part of Phoebe McAllister’s plan—especially not with Adam Tate living across the street.

After her parents’ sudden death, Phoebe is forced back to the town—and the family home—she swore she’d never return to. Her intention is simple: pack up the past, sell the house, and get back to the fashion boutiques she’s worked so hard to build. But her estranged brother, Damien, is determined to hold on to a place—and a history—Phoebe would rather leave behind.

Adam was once her everything. Damien’s best friend. The boy she never truly forgot. Now he’s steady where Phoebe feels unmoored, a quiet presence who brings back memories of long summers, shared secrets, and a connection that never fully faded. Seeing him again forces Phoebe to confront not just what went wrong all those years ago—but what it might cost to walk away again.
