Six years ago I kissed my brother's best friend. He thinks I don't remember but I do and now I'm back in Pine Rock, it's all I can think about. My plan was simple. Return to my hometown, open a coffee shop and avoid Roman like my life depends on it. Except he's everywhere I look and the boy who said we could never be, is now the man who looks at me like I'm his. Roman Banks may come from money, but he wears a cowboy hat like he was born for it. He's steadfast, protective and has a nasty habit of saving my ass. And apparently he's the new owner of the apple orchard I need to make my coffee shop a success. My family think my new business venture is just the latest in a long list of bad decisions, but I'm determined to prove them wrong. I'll do whatever it takes to make the coffee shop a reality, even work with the one man who is most definitely off-limits. Except when he learns I lied about not remembering our first and only kiss, all bets are off. Roman is determined to make me his and all my reasons for staying away crumble to dust. Roman may not believe he belongs in Pine Rock but, to me, no-one makes this small-town feel more like home than him.
