A first love. A second chance. A forever worth fighting for.
Rowan Hale swore she'd never come back. The small town of Briarwood held too many ghosts-of a broken family, of nights spent wishing for more, and of the boy who once owned her heart. But when her father's declining health forces her return, Rowan finds herself face to face with the past she never outran.
Evander Cross never left. Bound to his family's ranch after his father's stroke, he sacrificed his dreams-and the girl he loved-to shoulder responsibilities that weren't meant to be his alone. Ten years later, Evander has built a life from duty, not desire. Until Rowan walks back into it.
The years haven't dulled their chemistry. Beneath the simmering hurt and unspoken words lies the same wildfire connection that once set their summer nights ablaze. But Rowan is only back for a little while, and Evander refuses to lose her again. When old wounds bleed into new passion, they'll have to decide whether love can truly survive time, distance, and heartbreak.
In the glow of starlit fields and the shadow of unfinished dreams, Rowan and Evander will discover that some bonds can't be broken... and some loves are infinite.
