She left Ivy Hollow and never looked back. He stayed and never stopped looking.
Maren Cole hasn't been home in twelve years, and she planned to keep it that way. But when her younger sister announces she's getting married at Donovan Vineyards on the Fourth of July, Maren has no choice but to face the town she outgrew, the family she let down, and Rhett Donovan, the boy she left behind who is now very much a man and very much not over it.
Rhett has spent twelve years turning his family's struggling vineyard into something worth staying for. He's built a good life in Ivy Hollow, a quiet one, and he was doing just fine until Maren walked back in with her city confidence and the same brown eyes that still make his chest ache. He's not angry. He's moved on. He definitely doesn't still have the letter she left him.
(He has the letter.)
Two weeks until the wedding. Fourteen days of shared family dinners, vineyard sunsets, and a Fourth of July fireworks display that keeps putting them in the same dark field, standing a little too close. Maren tells herself she's only here for her sister. Rhett tells himself he doesn't care anymore. They're both excellent liars.
But Ivy Hollow has a long memory, and so does love.
A sweet, closed-door second chance romance featuring a woman who ran from the best thing she ever had, a man who stayed and bloomed where she left him, and a vineyard sunset that makes it really, really hard to pretend you're over someone.
Genre: Romance
