A locked pantry. A meddling sister. A second chance neither of them asked for.

Senator Adam Larson only came back to Maple Creek to shake hands, kiss babies, and charm a few donors at his re-election fundraiser—not to get trapped in a pantry with his ex-girlfriend.

But thanks to his scheming sister (who really hates his fiancée), that's exactly what happens.

Now Adam's stuck with the one woman he never quite got over... and his perfectly polished political life is about to get very, very messy.

Natasha Jenkins is barely keeping her family's wedding venue from falling apart. She has no time for romance—especially not with the man who broke her heart.

All she wanted was to make it through the fundraiser without seeing Adam again.

Now she's locked in a pantry with him—and the sparks between them are harder to ignore than ever.

Can one unexpected night rekindle a love they thought was long gone?
