Give Maverick Langston, the biggest romantic comedy movie star in the world, another chance to break my heart? No way. Not happening.

I am perfectly content with my life. I have a loving (albeit nosy and interfering) family, a fulfilling career as an environmental engineer, and I enjoy living in my quirky hometown of Winter Falls. But then Beckett Dempsey is appointed CEO at the company I work at.

I have loved Rowan since I was sixteen and he rushed in like my knight in shining football pads to save me from a bully. Now that I’m back in Winter Falls after graduating college, it’s time for me to make him mine. There’s only one problem.

I may be back in my hometown and down on my luck, but I know better than to fall for Lyric again. Been there. Done that. Have the heartbreak to show for it. When my business and apartment burn down, there’s only one thing I can do—return to my hometown of Winter Falls.

Have you heard the one about the workaholic who decides she deserves a night of fun with a sexy stranger? It’s supposed to be a short story. Except one night of fun changes everything.
