When a sexy silver fox returns to his small mountain town to find the woman he left behind-but never left his heart-still lives there, could they have a second chance at love?

At forty-four, I was a widow. In cleaning out my husband's office, I discovered two letters marked in case of emergency. Mine instructs me to contact our estranged friend. However, I'm not certain I should dip into the past. My heart still hurts from the third side of our former triangle. A man who'd given up both of our friendships-Denton Chance.

The second letter is addressed to him-the former rock star, the prodigal son, the boy who lived next door when I was young.

One night, I learn he's returned to our small mountain town after a twenty-seven-year absence. His mother is dying.

He's here for her, I tell myself.

But midnight dancing and backroad drives make it difficult to tamper old desires for my childhood best friend. I'm not certain a second chance is written in the mountain stars for us, though. Our reunion has an expiration date, and then, just like when we were teens, he'll be gone again.
