I fled my hometown seven years ago. I never planned to come back. I never planned to give up my city life for a small town. And I definitely never planned to fall for another man.

Tripp Lake, the place I love the most. Working at a cat café on Main Street gives me a chance to get some deserving cats their forever homes.

But when a blast from the past walks into my café, I'm not sure what to feel. Alex was always hot and popular in high school – and straight.

So it's a shock when he keeps accepting my invitations to hang out. I don't think I'm imagining the spark between us, but is Alex actually interested in me, or am I letting this straight boy break my heart?
