Description
When past and present collide, will the love they once shared spark again, or will the secrets they've kept destroy them both? Seven years ago, I left Conway, South Carolina swearing I would never go back. I put that town in my rearview and didn't stop until there were several hundred miles between me and the memories I wanted to leave behind. But you can't outrun your own heart. The past always comes back, and it didn't matter how far I went, I couldn't erase the mark he left. I'd never met anyone like Kellen Nash before. He made me feel so . . . alive. Until I made the mistake of falling in love with him. I spent seven years trying to forget only to be forced to come face to face with him again. I wasn't prepared for old wounds to be reopened or for him to still have this effect on me. He nearly broke me once. I won't give him the chance to do it again, even if he does still look at me like he can see everything I keep hidden inside. There's too much history between us, like the North and the South, to forgive and forget so easily, but the longer I'm back, the more I start to question what really happened then, and the more I worry about what will happen if he discovers my biggest secret. At seventeen she was the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen, and not at all what I expected. A girl like her didn't belong with a guy like me, but that didn't stop me from wanting her, or breaking her heart. I never thought I'd see her again, but she's back. Only she isn't the girl I knew. In her place is an angry spitfire even more gorgeous than I remember, and she's determined to take all that anger out on me. I've spent seven years missing her, living with the regret of letting her go, and when I start to catch glimpses of the girl I loved, I realize it's never too late. Or is it?
