He wants nothing more than to go back, until she walks in...

Combat-hardened Marine Jamie Colter is home in Glacier Creek pushing his limits to return to his unit after a mortar attack left him wounded. Despite his protests, his mom has hired a family friend to help him out. But the last person he expected to see was his teenage crush, more beautiful than ever. Suddenly Jamie has more to focus on than his wounds. He has two weeks to show Rachel that despite their past, he's her perfect man.

Following her recent divorce, Rachel McCafferty heads to her hometown of Glacier Creek, Montana, to house sit for her parents, help out a neighbor's son and reboot her life. She's shocked to realize the "patient" is her younger brother's best friend. He's most definitely not the skinny teen she remembered. She's amazed by Jamie's brash confidence, sense of fun and good looks, and when he makes it clear he's hers for the taking, she finds herself rethinking all her rules about younger guys.
