Official synopsis Publisher
“I can’t wait for another visit to Blossom Branch!” –RaeAnne Thayne, New York Times bestselling author
Second time’s the charm.
When a guy leaves your best friend at the altar, you should hate him. Avoid him. You definitely shouldn’t fall for him…right? But when Gabby Nolan runs into her BFF’s ex, Jason Brightman, eighteen months after the wedding that wasn’t, one thing is certain: the secret crush she had on him in college–the one Gabby worked hard to bury–is still very much alive and kicking.
What’s worse is that Jason is no longer the immature, privileged boy he once was. The man who stands before Gabby now is thoughtful, self-aware and somehow more handsome than ever. But none of that changes the fact that Gabby shouldn’t be looking in the first place. Unlike Jason, Gabby has worked hard to climb to where she is, something he could never understand. The last thing she wants is to derail everything she’s accomplished for a guy.
Except Gabby isn’t the only one who’s been carrying a torch, and Jason’s efforts to make her smile are working entirely too well. Maybe yesterday’s mistakes can lead to a promising future–as long as the baggage they’re both carrying isn’t too much to bear.
Bonus novella!
Their blind date was amazing. The morning after? Not so much. And Jeff and Marisa have avoided each other ever since, even in a town as small as Blossom Branch. But when they’re trapped together in a cellar during a tornado, the heat between them might be as dangerous as the storm!
