Shane McGuire and Becky Epperson have a history. They might have had much more, but instead, he broke her heart. Now they're both back in Northstar, and he'll do everything he can to win her back. Becky has been away from home far too long, and even the knowledge that Shane is moving home can't dim her joy at being back amongst the people and she loves. She can find a way to get along with him... right? Time has dulled the heartbreak, and to be perfectly honest, she's tired of pretending she doesn't still love him. That doesn't mean she's going to give him a second chance, and as long as she remembers why she shouldn't, everything should be just fine. The friendship and passion that brought them together in the first place is as irresistible as ever, but Shane has his work cut out for him. It's going to take much more than a simple apology to convince Becky to forgive him. He doesn't care. The best things in life rarely come easy, and she's the only woman for him. All he needs is the opportunity to show her he'll never hurt her again... but what if she won't give him one?
