Single mom Melanie Jamison doesn't have time for half-naked rescues from Granite Lake by her first love, Braden Keehn - the boy who mysteriously disappeared from her life a decade earlier. Coaching, repurposing furniture, and taking care of her daughter who has severe allergies have her swamped. But there's one gargantuan problem with this second chance romance - the sexy alpha game warden doesn't seem to remember her. Special Ops Game Warden Braden Keehn's recent drug investigation leaves him ambushed in the forest and lucky to escape alive. Helping his brother fix and flip an investment property in Granite Lake is just what the doctor ordered for a quiet recuperation. But there's one mammoth-sized surprise - Melanie, the girl he loved and lost, lives in the house next door... and he can't tell her anything about why he's returned. Reuniting with Melanie - and falling in love again is easy - but gaining her trust and finding their happy ever after brings frustrating, steamy, and sometimes hilarious challenges Braden never saw coming.
