Tear Down and Die — Joanna Campbell Slan

At sixteen while on vacation in Florida, Cara Mia Delgatto lost her heart to Cooper Rivers. But her interfering parents didn't approve. They moved Cara away from the Sunshine State and cut off all communication between between the two young lovers. In an act of rebellion, Cara makes a nearly fatal mistake--and nearly destroys both her family and their business. To make up for her rash behavior, Cara spends the next twenty years of her life being "a good girl," working in her family restaurant. When her parents die within six months of each other, Cara decides to take a road trip and visit her son at University of Miami. On a whim, she buys a vacant building in Florida and opens a trash-to-treasure décor store. She believes, with all her heart, in second chances...but then Cooper Rivers walks back into her life. Can Cara and Cooper rekindle the love they felt that magical summer so long ago? Or is Cara going to take the blame for the dead man whose corpse is left in her building?
