Maybe This Time — Jannine Gallant

Class of '85 Series
Adam York attends his twenty-fifth high school reunion hoping to see his old running pal, Chloe. Her absence hits him like a punch to the gut even though there's no reason why it should. After all, they'd never been more than friends in high school. Still, he'd hoped maybe this time…
Chloe Lane walks off the set of Get Lei'd with her dignity in shreds but the armor around her heart firmly in place. After a series of disastrous dates spawned by her brush with reality TV, she swears off men altogether. Until she runs into her old buddy, Adam, on the course of the Lake Tahoe Marathon.
Attraction sizzles between them, unexpected and disconcerting, threatening their friendship with the promise of something more. While Chloe battles her fear of commitment, a man from her past lurks in the shadows. Will she risk her heart before it's too late?
