Savanna Davis thought that night in August six years ago-and Dalton Hayes-were nothing more than memories that haunted her dreams. He was her childhood crush, her brother's best friend, and the one man who walked away without warning, leaving her to raise their secret alone. Now, years later, Savanna's blast from her painful past is back in town visiting from the military-moody, guarded, and dare she say looking incredibly delicious? Tempted by the one guy she never stopped thinking about, Savanna must make a choice: keep her distance and her secret away from him? Or reveal the truth while reaping the benefits? Because now that she's older, she knows better than to get attached-it's all just temporary, anyway. Dalton Hayes has never stopped thinking about Savanna Davis-or that one passion-filled night they spent together on the beach the night before he left for the military. Now, six years later, he's reluctantly back home in his hometown-the one place he's avoided like the plague. But when Dalton comes face-to-face with the smoking hot blonde he's tried so desperately to steer clear of-it's obvious the feelings he's tried to suppress come roaring back. When Dalton realizes Savanna is a single mom-to a spunky, familiar, blue-eyed little girl-and isn't happily settled like he originally believed, the narrative of the last few years gets completely flipped upside down. Now with a second chance, what Dalton wants with Savanna is permanent. The only thing he has to do is convince her he'll stay.
