Finding Felicity

She ran away at eighteen with her college fund, a secret, and a one-way bus ticket. She told herself she'd never look back.
She lied.
Felicity Hebert swapped the bayous of Louisiana for the neon lights of Las Vegas, and she's been surviving ever since - two jobs, one four-year-old son, and a past she keeps buried so deep she almost believes it doesn't exist anymore.
Almost.
Because the thing about running is that you can't outrun everything. And when she literally crashes into Rory Robin, the boy she grew up with, the one she never deserved, the one she's been dreaming about, on a crowded Vegas sidewalk, her carefully constructed walls start coming down whether she's ready or not.
Small town girl. Big city secrets. One unexpected second chance.
