We were best friends, but I wanted more.

Over a decade ago, I risked everything telling Hayes how I felt about him. But when he shut it down, I ran away and never looked back.

Until my mom calls and says she needs my help, forcing me to make my way back to Cane Creek, Montana. And Hayes Black’s annoying charm.

Hayes works his way back into my life, begging for a second chance at our friendship. It takes a lot of groveling, but I finally relent. After all, he was my best friend. Losing a love like that is tough.

I soon realize my feelings are still there, and he makes it clear that friendship isn’t all he wants from me either.

Our past is full of things we should’ve done better – secrets we kept and mistakes we made hang heavy over our heads.

Maybe this second chance wasn’t such a great idea after all.

    Hayes and River were best friends... until River told Hayes she wanted to be more than friends. He didn't feel the same, and River ran away, embarrassed and hurt. About 10 years later, River is back after her mom calls asking for help, and Hayes is asking for a second chance at their friendship. When she finally lets him back in, she realizes her feelings are most definitely still there, and it seems Hayes has some too. But will she be just another notch in his bedpost, or will it be more?! I was looking forward to Hayes and River's story after reading Burned and this was so good! I loved all the flashbacks of Hayes and River growing up together and just the little snippets of their friendship. Received an ARC and give my honest review
