Cassie Lane came home to celebrate her birthday ... not to face old scars. But when the party lights go out, she finds herself in the glow of Jack Carter, the rugged hometown heartthrob who just happens to be the brother of her high school tormentor.
Broad-shouldered and heartbreakingly sincere, Jack is nothing like his sister. But he’s the one man Cassie shouldn’t want. Now Cassie must decide if she can trust the man who makes her feel seen, or let old wounds steal the future she’s always dreamed of.
Perfect for fans of curvy heroines, small-town romance, and the irresistible enemy’s brother trope.
