We were everything in the '90s. And I think we still are.

Fern fell hard for Alden in ninth grade—the hot, broody soccer player with the floppy hair and secret smile who somehow chose her. They were lockers-and-love-notes, mixtape kind of magic. And even after all these years, even after marriage, divorce, and raising kids, Alden still feels like home.

Now they're both middle-aged, carrying baggage instead of backpacks. He's a single dad. She's done pretending she doesn't still want the boy-turned-man who never really let her go.

They've never been able to stay away from each other for long—late-night kisses, check-in texts, soft confessions he won't say in the daylight. But this time, Fern's ready for more... or nothing at all.

If Alden can't see the future she sees, she'll finally walk away—for real.

Because love like theirs doesn't come around twice... unless it's meant to last forever.

A soulful, sexy second-chance small-town romance for anyone who still thinks about their first love—and wonders what if.
