Seventeen years ago, they were high school sweethearts. But Jon had a dream and ambition, and so he left.
Jenna never thought she would return to their small hometown of Misty Glades, but life had a funny way of pivoting without permission. Still, she was doing okay for herself. She had a roof over her head, gas in her tank, and a small but thriving bakery. Most days, that was enough.
Until she came face-to-barrel with a burglar’s gun. Only for that gun, and that would-be thief, to be swiftly subdued by the very last person she would have expected—her high school boyfriend, not nearly as dead as she’d been told, and all the way grown up.
She might need to put an extra padlock on her heart.
After losing his career with the Marine Corps over stupid propaganda, it was safe to say Jon was not in the mood to stumble upon a pair of amateur burglars. But he was downright unprepared to find the one girl he’d never gotten out of his head staring back at him.
He didn’t know why she was back in Misty Glades, or how the hell she was still single, but he wasn’t going to waste the opportunity. He’d protect her from the escalating number of strange disappearances, endure the town gossip, and even wade through his family’s mess, if it meant that this time, he got to keep her.
