A rejected proposal. A secret pregnancy. The ex who never stopped loving her. One small town with a long memory.

Ten years ago, Kandra Sullivan turned down Noah Lockhart's proposal and chased her dreams out of Cross Creek, leaving him on one knee with a ring she never even looked at. She left to become a photographer. She became a model instead. And when the man she trusted threw her away the moment she needed him most, she had nowhere left to go but home.

Now she's back -- broke, pregnant, and pulling pints at the only bar in town.

Noah should hate her. He's spent a decade telling himself he does. But Cross Creek has a population of 2,500, and in a town that small, avoiding your ex requires more effort than he's got. Especially when his three brothers won't stop meddling, Roy's bar keeps throwing them together, and the woman who shattered him still owns the one piece of his heart he could never take back.

Kandra knows she doesn't deserve another chance. She's carrying someone else's child and a decade of regret. But Noah isn't the cold, bitter man he pretends to be, and every moment she spends with him makes it harder to remember why she ever walked away.

When her secret comes out in the worst possible way, they'll both have to decide: let the past destroy them, or fight for a future neither of them expected.
