From the outside, Fiona Steele has it all: a thriving career, close friends, and a family who loves her. The one thing missing is true love, and the only man she wants is the one she cannot have, brooding, magnetic Jake Braden, whose heart she broke years ago and has regretted breaking ever since. Jake is an LA stuntman at the top of his game, hired for the biggest movies, surrounded by beautiful women, and living an unencumbered life where his own needs come first and he never has to look too closely at himself. The one place his armor slips is his close-knit hometown of Trusty, Colorado, where he carefully avoids Fiona, the only person who truly knows him. When Fiona's best friend is cast in Jake's next film, she seizes the chance to win him back, and the attraction still crackling between them is impossible to deny. But her carefully staged reunions do not land well with a man who has buried his feelings so deep he is not sure he can reach them. As old wounds and second chances collide, both have to decide what they are willing to risk. It is a steamy second-chance romance about regret, forgiveness, and the pull of first love.
