One call can change everything.

Kate’s life is practically perfect. She has a thriving career, an amazing best friend, and an incredible fiancé. Then a family accident forces her back to the small town she left over a decade ago. The place that holds some of her fondest memories and her most devastating heartbreaks.

Kate now has to balance her high-powered career, planning her dream wedding, and helping her mom recover, all while being apart from her fiancé. The juggling should be simple enough for this type A personality, who loves creating to-do lists and spreadsheets, but every passing day makes her question everything about her so-called perfect life.

Including the man she’s supposed to marry.

It doesn’t help that he’s back in town—Jake. Her childhood best friend, who abruptly cut Kate out of his life fifteen years ago without explanation. Now Jake expects to waltz back into Kate’s life and have their friendship revert to the way it used to be. Ignoring the heartache he caused when he left to chase his dreams.

If only it were that easy.

There’s a reckoning coming for Kate and Jake, and neither one will be the same afterward.
