Quinn McClain's life as an equine veterinarian on the East Coast is everything she dreamed it would be: all-consuming and sexy as hell. Between her high-profile patients and steady boyfriend, she maintains a laser focus on the now. Not the then. Not on a beautifully tragic, life altering past that she tries to forget ever happened. But nothing stays buried forever.

When Quinn's dad suffers a serious accident, she rushes back to the small town where she grew up and collides full force with the past she has spent a decade recovering from, including the boy who broke her heart: Will Deremer. Her first-love-turned-arch-nemesis has risen to fame as an author and happens to be writing the sequel to his bestselling novel in the quiet of Linzberg, Texas. He is exactly as she remembers: charming, soulful, and irritatingly attractive.

Once Quinn is in proximity to Will's gravity, feelings that she thought were dead and buried begin to resurface, forcing her to ask questions that she may not want answered. When she uncovers the secret that tore them apart, to heal, she must forgive not only Will but also her family and herself. But no longer hating someone is not the same as falling in love again. Or in Will's case, could it be one and the same?
