Jetty Beach is such a hotbed of memories, I avoid it as much as possible. Whenever I go home, no matter where I look, I see him.

I see Hunter.

He left me ten years ago, when we were barely eighteen, disappearing to join the Marines without a word. And I never heard from him again.

Now, after a messy divorce, I’m stuck staying with my brother, surrounded by reminders of the one man I can’t forget.

And suddenly, he’s here.

He’s home, and more gorgeous than I remember. Bigger, stronger, more experienced—in all the right ways. My body wants to trust him, but my heart’s been broken too many times. Once by him.

No matter how relentlessly he pursues me, I’m afraid to give him a second chance.

Afraid I’ll lose my heart to him, and he’ll keep it forever.
