You came home for one summer to help your grandmother save her struggling diner—not to reopen old wounds with Colter Hayes. Unfortunately, the town’s tattooed rodeo golden boy is back too, recovering from an injury he insists is “nothing” and wearing the same pretty smile that once broke your heart. Colter still flirts like it’s a competitive sport, but this time, you refuse to be another name attached to his reputation. The problem is, he keeps showing up. At the diner after closing. Outside your car when it gets dark. Beside you on late-night drives when neither of you wants to admit you’re lonely. As old feelings resurface and Colter’s cocky act begins to crack, he’ll have to prove he’s capable of more than charming words—and you’ll have to decide whether the boy who once embarrassed you deserves the chance to become the man who stays.
