My name is Aveline Montgomery and my life is less-than exciting. I work, go to my classes, sleep, repeat. There’s nothing that’s going to make my life amp up in the excitement department like going backpacking—ahem, wine tasting—through Europe. At least, that’s what I thought until Ethan Hart comes to town. Everyone remembers him, everyone worships him, everyone wants him. But for some reason my charming self captures him and he can’t help but be completely infatuated by me... What can I say? I’m adorable. So what if I get in a car accident, give myself third degree burns and basically make a fool of myself every time Ethan is around? And so what if being associated with him makes me a target for a dangerous man who, well, wants me dead? It’s fine. Everything’s fine.

They say you can’t go home again… Well, that’s exactly what I had intended until one of the best humans on the planets asks for a favor. I tell myself it’s fine, I can handle being back in the small town that I was raised in, I can handle being in the presence of the people I left behind. The question is, can I handle being in the presence of him? Of course, there’s a him. Lucas Montgomery. The boy who became my best friend. The boy I left behind. But he’s not a boy anymore. No, he’s all man. And guess what? He hates my guts. This should be fun. Previously published as Leaving Lucas. One More Shot is a second-chance, small-town romance with romance, family, and a touch of suspense.
