Does every first love deserve a second chance?Six years ago, my world imploded and the only way to protect the girl of my dreams was to break our pact and set her free.

Though I’ve settled into my new role as a single dad and firefighter, I’ve never forgotten Lori’s bright smile, her determination, the crazy, reckless love we shared night after night that summer. So when a twist of fate brings her back to Penny Creek, I’m hell bent on winning her back. Turns out I can still make her blush, she’s still full of surprises, and our chemistry is hotter than ever.

But she’s made it clear that in two weeks, she’ll be returning to the life she left behind – without me. Suddenly, I’m in a race against time to get her to stay. And just when I think we’ve scored our second chance, our pasts come back to push us apart once more.

Can I fight hard enough to keep her this time?
