Thirteen years after one mistake cost Maxine Nolan the only person who ever truly mattered, she is still trying to make amends by holding together Mitchell Adams's family inn in Oakwhite Bay.
An injury sidelines Mitch's pro hockey career, and his brewery's grand opening drags him home to an estranged father whose final wish forces him to work beside the woman who broke his heart.
Former best friends now trade furious glares and stinging words, even as the hurt between them keeps uncovering feelings neither one buried.
Maxine wants Mitch gone for good, yet the more he pushes her away, the harder it is to stop loving the only man she has ever wanted.
Mitch swore he would never return to the town where she betrayed him, but their arguments become the best part of his day and make him wonder if he ever moved on.
In this spicy small-town romance of enemies, forced proximity, and second chances, both must decide whether a love left in the past is worth risking again.
