As secrets unfurl and old flames reignite, can they transform their shared pain into a second chance at love without getting burned?

Nixie
I swore I’d never return to Black Timber Peak, but here I am, standing in front of my mom’s old house.
My plan is to settle her estate and disappear, without memories or mess, and certainly without running into Beauden, the boy who shattered my heart.
Then my failed service dog, Tiberius, bolts into the wilderness, and panic grips me.
That’s when I see him—Beauden, my high school sweetheart, now a hotshot firefighter.
Old wounds open, and the chemistry between us reignites, threatening to engulf my heart once more.

As we search for Tiberius together, I can see the wounds in her eyes and feel the old chemistry sizzling between us.
