Fall in love like it’s 1995. From the USA Today bestselling author of The Duchess Society series comes a sexy small-town romance about going home, making peace with the past—and falling hard all over again.

If you love Sweet Home Alabama, unforgettable first loves, and a hero who never stopped yearning, this '90s second-chance short romance is for you.

Lainey Prescott swore she’d never come back to Promise, South Carolina. But a cheating ex, a tanked career, and one too many sleepless nights send her packing for the only place that still feels like home. Sort of.

She’s not expecting to run into Justin True—first love, worst goodbye, and the man who ruined her for all others. Now he’s all grown up, a successful architect, dangerously steady, sexy, and entirely off-limits.

Thirteen years ago, she pushed him away, and he walked, taking her heart with him.

Now she’s back. And that slow-burn chemistry? Still hot enough to torch every bridge she thought she'd burned.

One small town. One unforgettable summer.
One shot to finally get it right.
