Description
New York Times Bestselling author Corinne Michaels returns to the small town of Willow Creek Valley in this stunning brother’s best friend/secret child romance.
Fifteen years ago, I fell for Jack O'Donnell. I was just a girl, but I knew my brother's best friend was the only man I'd ever love. On my eighteenth birthday, when I asked him to kiss me, I never imagined it would change my life so completely. I gave Jack everything that night.
In order to move on, we had to go our separate ways and pretend like nothing happened... as though it wasn't the greatest moment of my life. But even that wasn't as heartbreaking as the secret we were forced to keep.
I've tried not to think about how much I still love him. How I long to be back in his strong arms or the way his hazel eyes make my heart race. Until he kisses me again. And this time there’s no turning back. This time I know what it means.
We belong together and there's no use denying it any longer. But our feelings aren't the only thing that won't stay buried, our past resurfaces and threatens to destroy our second chance at happiness.
When our love is tested once again, will we be strong enough to stand together?
