Everyone deserves a second chance, but not for the same mistake. At least according to Brooklyn Tanner. Over the course of their long, complicated friendship, she's given Andrew Brinks more than enough chances. What has she received in return? Heartache. Pain. Agony. But also love, as cruel and beautiful as it's always been between them. When outside circumstances threaten Drew's family, will Brooklyn finally put aside the grief of her past to offer him the support, and perhaps love, he needs? Or was their fate sealed all those years ago when Drew had no choice but to betray her?

Brooklyn Tanner and Andrew Brinks have a long history...one she wants nothing more than to forget. Considering he's her best friend's brother and single father to two amazing girls who mean the world to her, it's almost impossible. When the man she's been dating proposes, she thinks it's exactly what she needs to finally close this chapter of her life. After all, over 16 years have passed since she gave Andrew Brinks her heart, only for him to destroy it. Why should that matter now? But it matters to Drew. When he learns of her engagement, he realizes he has a decision to make.

There are moments in our lives that define us. For Brooklyn Tanner, it's the summer before her junior year of high school. The summer boys finally begin to notice her. The summer he finally begins to notice her. Andrew Brinks. Handsome. Popular. Star hockey player. Her best friend's brother. For one summer, she's happy, carefree, and convinced she'll finally experience what she's been dreaming about for years...her first kiss. But just like everything else in her life, it comes at a price she may not be ready to pay.

I know an Ace when I see one. And this woman, my Ace of Hearts, is the one play I can’t resist. She’s slick, counting cards and running games in my casino. But no one steals from me without consequence.

Dropping papers off at my boss's house shouldn't be a big deal. Except that I'm in love with him, and I have a little fantasy that he secretly feels the same. An unexpected change in his demeanor makes me think my fantasy is finally coming true, but the second I realize I'm dealing with his identical twin, the storm of the century unleashes a mudslide, trapping me at his house. It's way too late to question what could possibly go wrong. The only question remaining is if I'd rather save my job or my heart.
