My ex just rolled back into town after ghosting me six years ago. The same man who shattered my heart is now Willowbridge's golden boy veterinarian—and my boss wants me to interview him. Nate Wilder still has those green eyes that used to see right into my soul. Still has that cocky smirk. Still makes my traitorous heart skip when he says my name. I'm here for the story. Not to remember how his hands felt tangled in my hair. Not to notice the way he growls my name like a warning. Then my editor drops another bomb—we're shooting a documentary together. Weeks of forced proximity with the man who left without a goodbye. The man who's now looking at me like I'm the one who got away. He says he fell first. He says he never stopped falling. But I'm not that naive college girl anymore—and I won't fall for his pretty words twice. The whole town's watching. My heart's on the line. And Nate Wilder isn't giving up without a fight. Perfect for fans of grumpy/sunshine, he-falls-first, second-chance small-town romance with forced proximity, a pining MMC, and an FMC who's not making it easy. Book 2 in The Willowbridge Series. Each book can be read as a standalone with its own happily ever after.
