~ Return to Sapphire Falls in this new novel from the little
town with lots of heat and heart ~
Only one thing has not gone according to Kyle Ames’ grand
life plan.
Hannah McIntire.
She was his first love, the woman he planned to make his
wife, the one that got away—all that romantic crap.
Two years ago, Hannah broke his heart and ruined all of his
dreams… not necessarily in that order. Which has been, well,
not exactly fine, but he’s handling it because he doesn’t
have to see her every day.
In fact, Kyle had kind-of hoped to keep up with the
not-seeing-Hannah thing for at least a couple more years. Or
a couple more decades. Or forever.
But now she’s back in town to help her grandmother, Kyle’s
patient and one of his favorite people, recover from hip
surgery. Okay, so two things haven’t gone according to
Kyle’s plans.
It’s only for six weeks. Surely Hannah can survive living in
her hometown and helping her grandmother for six short
weeks. If she doesn’t leave the house any more than
absolutely necessary. And puts on the show of being the same
girl they all remember. And absolutely avoids Kyle Ames.
But that plan evaporates the moment she sees Kyle again. And
then things get worse—way worse. Kyle plans to also put on a
show too. To make Hannah’s grandmother happy, he has to
pretend that he completely forgives Hannah and wants her
back. He doesn’t. But he and Hannah are the only ones who
know that. And the pretend seduction quickly starts feeling
far too real and Hannah’s having a hard time remembering
that she’s supposed to be resisting the whole thing.
And then there’s the not-so-tiny complication of falling in
love with Kyle all over again. And the fact that he’s
falling for her too. And that they’re both realizing that
maybe this time they’re doing it right.
