Nicole Love’s life has been a roller coaster of ups and downs. When her grandmother calls for help, Nicole heads for her hometown. Coyote Creek holds so many memories, and the one man she really wants to avoid. On her sixteenth birthday, Nicole tried to seduce Jason Flint. He turned her down flat. She’s older and much wiser now. She’s survived the loss of a child and an abusive ex-husband. All she wants is peace and quiet, and it doesn’t look like she’s going to get it.

Jason Flint is thrilled that Nicky is coming home. He’s waited ten years for this day. Turning down her immature plea was the hardest thing he’s ever done. But he’d been a man, and she a child. Accepting her offer would have destroyed them both. In the aftermath, she fled into the arms of another man. Now she’s back and available. All he must do is convince her he’s one of the good guys and that he loved her then and loves her now.

In a world full of past hurts, the future is wide open, but the universe has one curve ball left for Nicole and Jason. Will it be the one that pulls them together, or keeps them apart?
