"What would you do if you had a second chance to make things right?" Julie Carson has been running from her past for as long as she can remember. From leaving her little town (more importantly her controlling mother) and repressing the heartbreak of her first love gone wrong, avoiding problems is all Julie knows. It isn't until her relationship with sweet, dependable Ethan Mayhews ends because of her inability to confront her past, that Julie realizes the only way to mend a broken heart is to acknowledge it was broken in the first place. With her sister getting married and her ex-boyfriend, now New York Times best-seller, Evan Morgan, back in her life, there's nowhere to run anymore for Julie. Of course, old habits die hard, when Julie is forced into the lie of a lifetime. Suddenly, instead of finding a wedding date, she's cornered into pretending Evan's her wedded spouse instead. Does her reunion with Evan spell a second chance at romance or is Ethan the man after her own heart? Or, more importantly: can she stay true to who she is while living a lie or is it about to go up in flames?
