Find out more about the book below:
High school sweethearts Arlene and West are torn apart by the Vietnam war. Fifteen years later, in 1985, West returns to his hometown on the worst day of Arlene’s life. He’s still the tall, dark, handsome rebel she fell for all those years ago. And when he looks at her, his striking eyes are still filled with desire.
Arlene did not expect to see her high school boyfriend on the day she buried her husband. With his rugged good looks, West still makes her heart skip a beat, but a dead husband, a burned-down house, and three kids are more than enough to deal with, without adding a broody, but mesmerizing ex to the mix.
West only returned to his hometown Brightwater to help his mom deal with his father’s death. He did not expect to run into the love of his life, in a graveyard of all places. Arlene might be the one that got away, a flame that refused to die, but his life was in New York now and he couldn’t wait to get away from Brightwater again, even if she still made his pulse quicken and his thoughts scatter.
Life has brought them to the same dingy motel on the outskirts of the town and when Arlene comes knocking on West’s door, asking for help, he jumps at the occasion.
Their attraction is still magnetic and despite knowing their lives, are not compatible anymore, they just can’t seem to stay away from each other.
