Firefly Secrets: Ashley Templin

For years, Izzy Cortez has chased the life she thought she was supposed to want.

A championship title. A prestigious sponsorship. A fiancé who promises stability.

The future that's been carefully planned down to the smallest detail.

So why does it feel like she's been running from something instead of towards it?

Four years ago, Izzy walked away from the only man she'd ever loved.

She convinced herself it was the only choice. That love wasn't in the cards for her.

Until fate-and one long-buried secret-throws Sterling Morgen, back into her life.

Now the cowboy she never truly let go of is impossible to avoid, impossible to forget, and even harder to resist. Every chance encounter reminds her that the future she's spent years fighting for has never felt as right as the one she left behind.

Because sometimes the hardest thing to admit is that the life you've built isn't always the one your heart chooses.
