Publisher Description
The night before fifteen-year-old Jaxon Boyd left for chemo treatment, he made a pact with his best friend and next-door neighbor, Isabella Capizzi. That no matter what happened, through thick and thin, they’d stay best friends forever. And they have – through first loves, breakups, and near-death experiences, their friendship has been the one constant in Jaxon’s life. Until they both cross the line one wild night at a neighbor’s wedding reception. But regardless of the feelings Jaxon harbors for Izzie, he’s determined to stay away – because promises are promises, right? And as much as he could see himself growing old with Izzie, there’s one secret he’s never been able to share with his best friend. Because sharing it would break Izzie’s heart completely.
Isabella Capizzi is tired of waiting. Tired of waiting for her parents to let her take over the family’s ranching business, tired of waiting to become head of the English department at the high school, and definitely tired of waiting for her teenage crush Jaxon Boyd to think of her as more than his childhood BFF. But now that she’s staring down thirty, she wants more for her life than a guy who only sees her as his plus-one.
After a night of too much liquid courage when she may or may not have confessed her feelings to Jax – the details are fuzzy – Izzie decides to take matters into her own hands. She’s leaving Prairie for good – come hell or high water. But her friends… and Jaxon, have other ideas.

A rough ride to happy
It's a tough go between life long friends Isabella and Jaxon. Tessa Layne always brings a serious situation or concern to the forefront with the residents of Prairie and these two are no exception. Their love runs deep but, they hide behind a friendship that doesn't plan to go past that level. I admit I was disappointed in Jaxon's treatment of Isabella. He toys with her heart and her mind but, she takes whatever crumbs he gives her because there is no other man that measures up. It is difficult to witness her heartache. It is annoying to witness his cowardice. But, I was drawn to them and knew that they would get their happy ending, just couldn't figure out how it would happen. That's excellent writing.
