Coming home was meant to be a retreat. Not a rematch.
Laura Bailey spent her childhood dreaming of escape. Growing up at her family's mountain lodge in tiny Sierra Falls, she always felt like she didn't quite fit. The second she graduated high school, she bolted for the city and never looked back.
Until now.
Her career imploded and her relationship ended in the same brutal week. Now Laura's back home with her pride in shreds-only to discover Sierra Falls isn't the sleepy refuge she remembers. A sleek new resort is threatening everything her family has built, and the construction company behind it belongs to none other than her high school nemesis, Eddie Jessup. The one boy who knew exactly how to get under her skin. The one she never really forgot.
Eddie's not the reckless kid she left behind, but the tension between them is as electric as ever. And the more they clash over the future of Sierra Falls, the harder it becomes to tell where the fighting ends and attraction begins.
As old grudges give way to unexpected heat, Laura and Eddie discover that second chances can come from the most unlikely places. But with her family's legacy on the line and the whole town watching, Laura has to decide what she's really fighting for-and whether the life she ran from might be the one she was meant to have all along.
Wolff has created an amiable, relatable community with primary and secondary characters that are well-drawn and convincing. A moving, engaging romance.
