BLURB
Eleven years ago, he hurt her.
Now he plans to prove they’re meant to be…
Â
In high school, Maggie Edelstein set the rules of our secret relationship, but I’m calling the shots now. In my dreams.
Â
Maggie’s still infuriating and confusing, and absolutely stunning. She’s also still pretending we barely spent time together as teens, when we met up nightly at her family’s pond.
Â
Over a decade later, I’m back in my hometown and some things haven’t changed. My chemistry with Maggie is once again hotter than a four-alarm fire, and she’s intent on denying it. I don’t blame her. The last night we saw each other I made a horrible mistake and hurt her, then I vanished into witness protection for ten years.
Â
But there’s something else going on with her.
Â
I recognize a secret when I see one, and her friends say she doesn’t do commitment. If I can get her to forgive me and open up, maybe she’ll break her rules and give us a second chance. Or she’ll light my heart on fire and dance around the flames…

As a teenager Lennon became friends with Maggie even if they were the only ones that knew about it. As they spent time together the feelings between them deepened until due to circumstances beyond his control Lennon and his family were forced to leave town with no further contact. A decade later he returns and he wants to make amends for the past and show her what they could have together but will he be able to convince her?
Maggie has always done what was expected despite what she feels or wants. Despite the fact that Lennon had valid reasons for leaving she is cautious about letting him back into her life which causes some turmoil along the way.
There is so much more to both these characters than first appears. Lennon comes across like he doesn’t have a care in the world while Maggie seems to carry the weight of expectations on her shoulders. Their romance as teenagers was interrupted but there is no denying they are meant to be.
