When Sarah Rawlings fell for her best friend's older brother
in high school, she knew he was trouble. But she couldn’t
resist his pull and the sweetness she sensed underneath his
protective bad boy persona. Their relationship was
everything she had ever dreamed of, until she was rocked by
his painful betrayal. Eleven years later, Sarah must return
to Whidbey Island following her beloved grandmother's death.
She knows she must stay away from Ian, but he’s not making
that easy and every time she sees him, she’s reminded of
what might have been.
One look at Sarah stirs up memories regrets that still
linger in Ian McLaughlin's heart. She was the love of his
life and he still can’t understand how he blew it and how
she could have also hurt him so badly in return. He plans to
steer clear of Sarah while she’s on Whidbey Island, but
that’s impossible when she’s often at his family’s pub.
Thinking to indulge in a little casual seduction for fun,
neither is prepared when the embers burst into flames.
So many years and secrets separate them. Can their powerful
attraction also include understanding and forgiveness?
