Old flames burn bright. A disgraced starlet returns home to lick her wounds, and discovers her high school sweetheart is as tempting as ever...
When Allison Murphy left for California, she gave herself a new name and never looked back. Now her carefully crafted good-girl image is getting torn to shreds in the press thanks to her Oscar-winning A-hole of an ex-boyfriend. She escapes to the only safe haven she knows and trusts—her hometown—to take a breather while she plots her triumphant Hollywood comeback. However, when Allie arrives at her parents' house, Jackson Burke answers the door instead. And suddenly the past comes rushing back...
First kiss. First time. First love. Jackson Burke shared a lot of firsts with Allie back in the day. And when she left, she took half his heart with her. Except she's back, and even though he swore he'd keep his distance, he finds himself directly in her path now that her parents have hired him to remodel their house. His plan? Finish the job. Ignore his ex. Until one hot kiss goes viral, and suddenly, they're the next big celebrity couple. Jackson agrees to play the part for Allie's sake, but there's zerochance he'll allow her close enough to break his heart all over again.
