When the one who got away moves in next door…

Clara Hill wants to be left alone.

Sitting on her porch watching everyone else’s lives go by is way more fun than dealing with her own problems.

Or at least that’s what she thought.

Now that her secret high school sweetheart is her next door neighbor, she’s not so sure anymore.

Being back in Green Valley was hard enough without having her first love right there within touching distance.

Especially when he’s so stubbornly determined to flash his unforgettable smile at her every chance he gets and reminding her of when she thought she’d found her happily ever after.

Once upon a time, Nick Easton thought he had it all.

A football scholarship, his dream girl, and a future so bright he couldn’t wait to get started.

But, like everything else in his life, it all came toppling down.

Now he’s content to raise his kids, teach English, and coach football at Green Valley High.

He has no time for things like romance, and dating, and starting over…

He’s fine being alone.

Who needs love?

But when he catches a glimpse of his new neighbor his quiet little world turns upside down, lighting a fire that makes him determined to reclaim all he thought was gone forever.

After all these years, can he convince Clara to give him another shot?

Or will their love story stay hidden in their past?

The swoony single-dad firefighter needs my help, but he might be too hot for me to handle.

I’m in Cozy Creek for two reasons: To get over my breakup and help my grandmother run her bakery while she recovers from a sprained ankle.

I am absolutely not here to fall in love.

But my grandma’s smoking hot firefighter neighbor keeps rescuing me—from the side of the road, from a tree (don’t ask), and then finally from my ex with a steamy kiss in a bar.

So when he needs my help, how can I say no?

As a party planner, I’m the perfect person to step in and work with him on preparations for Cozy Creek Fire Brigade’s Fall Fundraiser.

Sparks fly as we spend more time together, but we’ve both been burned by love before.

I do my best to beat the heat, but then he kissed me for real, and (f)all at once, I realize we might just be perfect for each other.

Stranded in a snowy cabin with my secret high school crush and only our steamy chemistry to keep us warm?

Yes, please.

And all this because I wanted some tacos and a chance at happily ever after.

Five minutes into another terrible date, I realized I should have just stayed home.

After storming off with my take-out consolation prize, I ended up spinning my car into a snowbank.

A light dusting of snow—yeah, right.

Thankfully, my knight-in-shining-tow-truck arrives to save the day and rekindle my crush. But because nothing is ever easy, we are forced to seek shelter from the rapidly worsening weather.

Cut to me stuck in a picturesque snowy cabin with my secret high school crush and plenty of time on our hands. Things are looking up!

And it turns out he’s always had a thing for me too. Who knew?

Spencer Cassidy might be a hot-as-sin mechanic who rebuilds cars for a living and spends his winters pulling tourists out of ditches, but he’s also a gentleman—respectful, protective, and worried about taking advantage of me. So we agree not to start anything while we’re trapped together.

But after years of dating non-committal boy-men and repeatedly having my heart broken, a chance with a real man like Spencer may be too tempting to resist.
