I’ve avoided my hometown for twenty-seven years for one reason. Aaron Gritt. Now that I’m back in Springs Falls, I’ve done my best to not to run into him. But if I happen to, let’s hope he isn’t as hot as he was at eighteen. But the universe is funny that way. My life is proof of it—secrets and all. So I’m not surprised when he stands in my classroom before me as the parent of one of my students. Forgiving him when he walked away had always been hard, but not as hard as it is to finally tell him the truth. \\\* Can you forget your first love? I didn’t. Even if I didn’t recognize her right away, the girl with a star-shaped birthmark was always somewhere on my mind. But she isn’t the competitive and driven seventeen-year-old captain of the girls hockey team I loved anymore. I don’t know what happened but she has lost her fire and never made it into the pros like she dreamt of. Now I know why, and it’s my turn to decide if I can forgive her. A second-chance, small-town romance novel you won’t be able to put down.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been in love with Chris. I was never old enough or brave enough to act on it. He never saw me like anything more than his best friend’s little sister. So, when he falls in love with my best friend, I smile and try to move on. Only I never thought I would lose them both. \\\* One tragic night. One day leaving me wondering what my future holds. One event that has me see Salomé under a different light. She’s the only one who can understand what I’m going through. She’s also the only one who can soothe my pain. I need her to survive. But I certainly shouldn’t take advantage of it.
