“PREPARE TO FALL IN LOVE…”—Jill Shalvis
Molly Burnett dreads returning to her hometown of Hope for her sister’s wedding, especially knowing she’ll have to endure a weekend with the one man she never wants to see again. It’s only a couple of days, so Molly will try to forget her painful past with high school sweetheart Carter Richards. Because despite the bitter memories, she still can’t forget what they once meant to each other.
But when Molly is forced to extend her stay, Carter sees this as his second chance to do things right, to start over again with the only woman he’s ever loved. This time, he isn’t going to let Molly run. Together they’re going to confront the past and put it behind them, and hope for a future as bright as the flame that still burns hot between them.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Molly Burnett reluctantly comes to her old hometown of Hope, Okla., for her sister's wedding. She plans to return immediately to Austin, where she can resume hiding from former boyfriend Carter Richards. But Carter is in the wedding party, and an untimely parental mishap forces Molly to cancel her plans and remain in Hope until further notice. Molly is drafted to fill in for her injured mother on a committee with the man who broke her heart years ago. She vows that history will not repeat itself. The tension is primarily erotic, as Molly and Carter reach a peace agreement that includes hot casual sex. But this friends-with-benefits thing only goes so far, with Carter still carrying a torch for the flighty woman who ditched him 12 years before. Burton sets the bar high for smalltown allure and just-folks characters who like a good romp or six in the hay.
