Lacey came to Montana for a fresh start. A new job. A steady routine. Miles of open road, perfect for running when her thoughts grow too loud.
It was supposed to be simple.
What she didn’t anticipate was her first love reappearing—with a hotter-than-she-remembers smile and the kind of presence that derails all common sense. And to top it off, she can’t seem to avoid him.
He’s in her town. At her job. And everywhere she turns… stirring up memories and feelings she thought she left behind.
So Lacey sets a few very reasonable rules for herself: avoid Luke, don’t stare at his muscles, definitely don’t fall for that dimple, and pretend she’s over him.
All of which she is failing miserably at.
Luke’s life is simple—early morning sweat sessions, long days training clients, and evenings spent on the baseball field. But it always felt like something was missing… and he’s pretty sure the missing piece just arrived in a sundress and a smile that can undo him.
Lacey—his ex—has just shown up in the town he now calls home.
The problem? She doesn’t seem nearly as thrilled to see him.
If anything, Lacey is doing everything she can to keep her distance—to act like whatever they had is firmly in the past… but the more she pulls away, the harder Luke tries to convince her they’re worth another shot.
But there’s a hitch to his plan to get her back—
He didn’t tell her the whole truth the first time around…And he’s not sure he can tell her now.
One summer. One second chance they never saw coming.
Can they fix what tore them apart eight years ago?
