Brooke: I’m convinced happily ever after is a myth. Discovering my husband’s secrets has given me no choice but to take my daughter and start over. Unfortunately, that means living with my parents again. Just when I think life has stacked the deck against me, I run into Ryan. It’s been over a decade, but old feelings quickly reignite. The chemistry between Ryan and me is undeniable, and I’m left wondering if this is the way things were always meant to be. Ryan: After being a Marine for fourteen years, I move home to start a business with my brother. The last person I expect to walk through the door is the woman I let go. She’s the one I’ve never forgotten, and thoughts of her kept me going all these years. Now I have the chance to prove my worth to her, but will the odds be stacked against us?

Ten years ago, one passionate night with Markus changed me. But it was also wrong. I haven’t seen him since.... Until now. He’s back in town, and to make matters worse, he’s working for my brother. I can’t seem to get him out of my mind, and there’s an obvious connection pulling us together. The only problem is, I have a boyfriend. Maybe it’s karma keeping us apart, punishing us for our secret tryst a decade ago. Maybe we’re just not meant to be together. Whatever it may be, Markus and I are having a difficult time finding our rhythm.

Life is good now that I’ve landed my dream job in my home town. Gone are the wild days from my past and I’m ready to prove myself. I vow to make a difference in the community that once rejected me.When I meet Brady, I find a part of me that’s been missing. My body comes alive and I have feelings I’ve never experienced before. He’s kind, sexy and someone I can’t get out of my mind. Throw in the fact that he’s my brother’s best friend and my family adores him, and he’d be the perfect guy.But he doesn’t know about my past. He doesn’t know about the part of me I wish I could erase. He doesn’t know that I’m just not worthy of love.

I’m on top of the world. After years of hard work, my dreams are finally coming true. My band is selling out tours, there are talks of award nominations, and the cherry on top is that I have the love of my life, Simone, by my side. Then my past returns. Simone has always said she will stick with me through thick and thin, but when things prove not only to be difficult, but dangerous, too, I have to wonder if she’ll stay. One thing is certain, I need to fight to prove what is - and isn’t - meant to be.
