Joey Greer is done having her heart broken. Eight years ago, after a horrific car accident, Jackson Pierce-her high school sweetheart-abandoned her. Abandoned his family. Abandoned the town they'd both grown up in, and fled to Hollywood. He never looked back, and she never forgot him.

Or forgave him.

Now he's back, pretending like the past doesn't exist, wanting another chance. And even though she still feels the undeniable connection between them, the fiery attraction that burns her up from the inside out, Joey's determined to keep him at a safe distance.

Jackson Pierce can't tell Joey the truth about the night when he left her in the hospital. It would ruin more than just their relationship, and he can't do that to her.
