Lori Maguire is starting over. With her divorce finalized and her kids away at college, she’s ready for a change. And there’s no better place to go than home. A job at the Seattle Star is just the fresh start she needs. That is until she discovers Matt Kelley, her college sweetheart, is the newly promoted editor.

Matt can’t believe his luck when he walks in to interview a new columnist, and Lori-the girl who got away-is standing in front of him. He made a lot of mistakes in college, but destiny has brought her back into his life, and he’s going to grab hold with both hands.

The problem is, Lori’s been hurt. She’s skittish. Even wary. Especially around Matt. Once upon a time, he hurt her, so it’s going to take more than a few kisses and a hot game of pool to convince her to give him a second chance.
