Description

From New York Times bestselling author Corinne Michaels comes the next book in the Ember Falls series.

When my ex-husband leaves me for the co-star in his movie, moving back to Ember Falls feels like my only option. Everett Finnegan, my first love and the man I've never forgotten, is ready to welcome me with open arms...and an open bed.

But when I find out I'm pregnant with my ex's baby, my entire world is upended. My ex doesn't want the baby, but I plan to rebuild my life as a single mother and figure out how to handle all of this alone.

Except that I don't seem to be alone—Everett always shows up for me. I don't expect him to get mixed up in all my drama—not when he has his own. And I wish he would listen to me when I say we have to stop whatever it is we're doing.

But he wants me, the baby, and my heart. So when I'm forced to return to California sooner than planned, I'm devastated.

Everett can't leave Ember Falls, and I can't stay. Saying goodbye to him the first time was hard enough. This time, it just might break me.
