From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Monica Murphy--author of Lonely for You Only and the Lancaster Prep series--comes her next sweet and sexy summer romance set in the same world as When Sparks Fly.
Nate has wanted Paige for as long as he can remember. But Paige is the town's golden girl--beautiful, kind, funny, and smart--and he's always believed she's far out of his league. Convinced he's protecting them both from heartbreak, Nate pushes her away again and again, never realizing how deeply he's hurting the woman he loves.
Then a health scare forces him to face what truly matters. This time, he's determined to fight for the future he's always wanted.
But Paige has finally reached her limit. The attraction between them has never faded, yet trusting Nate with her heart feels like the biggest risk of all. Keeping him at arm's length is the only way she knows to protect herself.
Now Nate will have to prove that love is worth the leap--and when he finally finds the courage to declare his feelings for Paige in front of the entire town, he'll discover that winning her heart may be his greatest challenge yet.
