After her divorce, Kathryn Abbott never imagined that moving back to her hometown would mean colliding with the one person she’s never been able to forget—Brett Falcone. She was the brainy girl who tutored him. He was the baseball star every girl wanted…and the boy who left an indelible mark on her heart.
Twenty years have passed, and Brett is more magnetic than ever. He doesn’t see Kathryn as the shy intellectual from the past, but as the woman who slipped away before they had a chance to begin. Now he’s determined to seize the love they once denied themselves.
But second chances come at a cost. Old choices cast long shadows, and Kathryn must face the truth about who she was, what she lost, and the decision that shattered her before she can embrace the future she’s always wanted.
