Lucas Carlisle grew up as Bayport Cove’s resident golden boy. Son of the county mayor and heir to a lucrative real estate investment company, his name came with both prestige and expectations. Surrounded by sycophants, he was lucky to find camaraderie with a genuine few, but none more important than her . His best friend. His first love. And the girl whose heart he broke. Now grown and on his own with a lifestyle envied by most, he’s unsettled at best. It’s been years since she left town, but he carries the weight of regret on his shoulders and a torch for the girl who still owns his heart. ~ At eighteen, Callie Bennett left the only place she’d ever known and didn’t look back. Because for her, home was just another name for heartache. When the aftermath of a loss brings her back to Bayport for the first time in ten years, she’s intent on avoiding her past, but it’s not as easy as she thinks. Not when her past is six foot two, looks like he was carved out of marble, and is hell-bent on earning her forgiveness. Lucas is determined to right his wrong and knock down the walls he’s responsible for putting around Callie’s heart in order to win it back. But when a buried secret is unearthed, it doesn’t just threaten their second chance… It shatters everything they’ve ever known.
