Cormac Kelly was my first best friend… and he broke my heart before I even knew it was his to break.

Every summer of my childhood belonged to Sugar Brush, Wyoming and the boy with pale blue eyes who knew all my secrets. We spent those long, golden days running wild across his family’s ranch, covered in dirt and convinced nothing would ever change.

But things do change. And somewhere along the way, my first best friend became a stranger.

Then the night before my wedding, I accidentally overheard what Cormac really thought of me, pushing me into making the worst decision of my life.

Three years later, I’m divorced and back in Sugar Brush for the summer, working as an outdoor adventure guide and hoping this will be the fresh start I need.

But Cormac still lives on the ranch. And he’s impossible to avoid.

He’s there when I need help. When I need a steady hand. And the gentle way he looks at me now doesn’t match the cruel words I heard him say that night.

The more time we spend together, the harder it becomes to remember why we ever walked away from each other.

When one unexpected kiss sparks a passion neither of us saw coming, I start to question everything I thought I knew.

Did I misunderstand the night that changed everything?

Did we let the best thing in our lives slip away?

And more importantly…how can I let myself fall for Cormac when we both know this summer is all the time we have?
