• Long-distance relationship

• The one that got away

• Small-town charm

Ben Valentine had it all -- a successful baseball career, fame, and fortune. But after everything he's lost, he's back in Hope's Crossing, searching for a fresh start.

For Willa Dunbar, Ben was the one who got away. She's loved him since high school, but he only saw her as the quiet girl who tutored him. When a family tragedy brings Willa back to her small hometown, she's focused on healing and rebuilding her life. But living next door to the boy she's never stopped loving stirs up feelings she thought she'd buried long ago.

The chemistry between them is undeniable, but Ben's world is rooted in Hope's Crossing, while Willa's is in Paradise Falls. She's worked hard to move forward, to build a life without him, but now she's forced to question everything she thought she wanted.

Can they bridge the distance between their two worlds, or will Ben walk away from her once again?

After our parents died in a car accident, my sisters and I lived with Uncle Cornelius, a stuffy Brit with a heart as big as the state of Indiana. Cornelius owned the local movie theater in Hope's Crossing, and I loved every inch of the place almost as much as I secretly loved Ben Valentine. But Ben was out of my league, never seeing me as anything but his high school tutor. When he left for college, he took my heart with him.

Four years later, with my business degree in hand, I wanted to work with Uncle Cornelius. But nothing went as planned, and I struck out on my own in Paradise Falls where I bought a drive-in theater I could run my way. My life is on track until Uncle Cornelius has a heart attack. With regret burning deep inside, I rush home to set things right with him. It's all I can think about, until I discover the bad boy of baseball is living next door. Then all I see is heartbreak in my future because there's nothing to keep me in Hope's Crossing -- nothing except the man of my dreams.
