Award-winning and bestselling author Lydia Michaels brings all the drama of rural, small-town romance to life in this second-chance story of redemption that will pull at readers' heartstrings.

Harrison Montgomery left Jasper Falls to escape his abusive father when he was only seventeen. Saving himself meant leaving those he loved behind–a regret he's had to live with his entire life.

Mariella Mosconi never forgot her first love. Harrison ran away without even a goodbye, and her life has felt unfinished ever since. Ten years later, when he returns for his father's funeral, Mariella plans to make peace with her past, but old memories stir new emotions, and their rekindled chemistry ignites into a passionate fling.

Can two childhood sweethearts build a future from a tragic past? Harrison must face down his demons to find out.
