Emory Kern has been in love with Ethan Barrett her entire life. From her childhood crush, to a teenage obsession, she fell in love with him. She’s waited patiently for him to see her, notice her, and in turn, fall in love with her. When she is forced to put her heart on the line, she finally professes her love for him. Then, he broke her heart. Fleeing from everything she knows, she puts time and distance between them in hopes of forgetting the man she’ll never have. Ethan Barrett is smart, strong, sophisticated, and can have any woman he wants. Except one. He has spent a long time denying his feelings for Emory, thinking they could never be anything more than friends. In one night, it all changes. But when her surprising confession catches him off guard, the always smooth Ethan, froze. He broke her heart and then she was gone. Time and distance has only intensified his feelings and desire for her. After eight months, Emory is back home. Her goal is simple, get in and get out, without any further damage to her heart. Ethan’s goal is a little different. Second chances don’t come often and he’s not about to let her get away this time. Falling in love with her was easy, making her believe it will be the challenge.

Amelia Shea
Author · 33 books
Amelia Shea writes contemporary romance. She released her debut novel in 2015, and has followed her passion for series romance ever since. Her writing style includes a little sweet, a little sassy and lots of steam. She loves building stories with settings that become comfortable and familiar, and developing characters who feel real, and though they may be flawed, they learn and grow, and finally deserve a happy ending. When she is not writing, she is obsessed with reading (all genres although she does has a soft spot for romance), coffee (it's more of an addiction but she prefers obsession) and perfecting her "y'all" (just a northern girl living in the south).
