A hot contemporary romance from the author of the acclaimed
I-Team series…
Lexi Jewell left Scarlet Springs twelve years ago, vowing
never to return to the small Colorado mountain town where
she grew up. Now, here she is—over thirty, out of a job and
with little choice but to move back in with her eccentric
father. Lexi knows it’s just a matter of time before she
runs into Austin Taylor, her first boyfriend and her first
heartbreak. She’s determined to show him she’s over
him—until he steps out of a pickup truck and back into her
life, looking sexy as hell in his mountain ranger uniform.
As far as Austin is concerned, Lexi can turn her snazzy
little convertible around and drive back to Chicago. After
all, she ripped his teenage heart to pieces and turned her
back on the town he loves. But from the moment he sees her
again, he can’t get her out of his mind. Even her smile
messes with his head.
When an evening of conversation turns into something else,
Lexi and Austin agree to be friends—with benefits. But as
Lexi starts making plans to return to the big city, Austin
realizes he’ll lose her a second time unless he can show her
that what she’s searching for has been right here all along.
