Can a broken bond—a broken heart—ever truly be mended?

Captain Hudson Miller lives and breathes the thrill of flight. For ten years, he's spent his days in the sky as an army pilot. But he's never forgotten the girl—the woman—he left back home. On post-deployment leave, he decides it's time to return to Havenbrook for the first time since he enlisted in the military. Back to his momma's peach pie, enough memories to last a lifetime...

And the only girl who ever left an impression on his heart.

Mackenna Haven should have her life figured out by now. Instead, she's a college drop-out working at her soon-to-be brother-in-law's bar and living on her parent's land. She's shied away from commitment of any kind—she doesn't even have a consistent weekend booty call. But that doesn't mean Hudson can walk back into her life after ten years and expect he can make good on their childhood pact.

He walked away from her once already, and she's not giving him a second chance to destroy her heart.
