Taylor Edwards family might not be that close - everyone is a little too busy and overscheduled, but for the most part, they get along just fine. Then Taylor's dad gets some devastating news, and her parents decide that the family will spend on last summer together at their old lake house in the Pcocono Mountains. Crammed into a place much smaller than they are used to, they begin to get to know each other again, but as the summer progresses they're more aware than ever that they're battling a ticking clock. And as Taylor tries to deal with the drama at home, she is faced with the fact that the friends she thought she'd left behind haven't actually gone anywhere. Her former summer best friend is still living across the lake and still as mad with Taylor as she was five years ago, and her first boyfriend has moved in next door… but he's much cuter at seventeen than he was at twelve. Can one summer be enough time to get a second chance - with family, friends, and love?

From the bestselling author of Queen of Cowboy: regrets and old heartbreaks are unearthed in this sweeping love story as hometown sweethearts get a second chance at love—and being a family. Retired combat medic Jesse Ryan hasn’t been home much since he enlisted twenty years ago. Now he’s headed back to Texas to help take care of his aging foster parents and run Sunflower ranch. But when he gets there, he finds his parents’ live-in nurse is Addison Hall, his high school best friend and the woman he always regretted leaving behind after their one steamy night together before he shipped out. He’s not at all surprised that their chemistry is still sparking, but Jesse is shocked to learn Addy gave birth to a little girl about nine months after he left—his little girl. Addy has her hands full as a single mom of a nineteen-year-old daughter who suddenly wants to rebel at everything. The last thing she needs is Jesse Ryan complicating her life even further, especially since she’s always had a crush on the handsome cowboy. But the more time she spends with Jesse, the more she wonders what might happen if they finally let their friendship blossom into something more and became the family she’d always hoped for.

Adolescent wounds vs very grown-up attraction. Toss in a small boy and mix well. Physical Therapist Margaret "Meg" Fisher takes her responsibilities seriously. When her friends died in a car accident, she flew to Jackson Hole, knowing when she returned home it would be with her godson, Charlie. She didn't expect to see her old boyfriend, Cole Lassiter, walk into the attorney's office like he owned the place. She hadn't seen Cole since high school when he broke her heart. The shock of seeing him was nothing compared to hearing the attorney say they were to be co-guardians of Charlie, with the stipulation they both live in Jackson Hole. Cole makes it clear he wants sole custody of Charlie, but Meg isn't about to let that happen. She loves the little boy and knows he needs a mother. If she has to put up with Cole to keep Charlie safe and happy, she'll make the sacrifice. Cole and Meg didn't plan on falling in love but the attraction that was there all those years ago ignites. But to move forward together and be a family, a long-held secret will need to be revealed. One that will either destroy what they're building or set the past to rest forever.
