...
Roxie Morgan never forgot how Cal Rawlins looked at her in high school - like she was invisible. She was the curvy, awkward little sister of his best friend, and she's more than fine with keeping it that way.
That is until she moves back home.
Her parents need the help. And Cal? Turns out, he's still around. Just as rugged, brooding, and ignorant as ever. Only now, to her chagrin, he actually acknowledges her existence.
Unbeknownst to her, Cal Rawlins has spent the past few years burying everything he ever wanted, including Roxie. Back then, she was too young. Too off-limits. Too close to the one person he would never betray. So, he did the only thing he could - he ignored her, even when she was stuck on his mind.
Unfortunately, secrets don't stay hidden forever, especially not as adults. The one he's been trying to keep is getting harder and harder to hide. He's running out of reasons to stay away, because the only thing heavier than the guilt he has is the weight of what he wants.
