Publisher's summary
They were high school best friends—bonding over terrible puns while their fingers froze to their clarinets. So what if she crushed on him while he thought of her as a band friend? It was still a glorious friendship . . . until it all crumbled in a single disastrous night.
Zack Partridge broke his best friend’s heart at senior prom. He was stunned when Laura left for college, vowing never to speak to him again. But now that she’s back in town, he wants nothing more than a second chance to renew their friendship and to explore the spark between them.
Laura Anderson can’t believe her bad luck. After an eight-year hiatus, how did she buy the one house in all of Crystal Creek next door to the man she wanted to avoid for at least a millennium? Even worse, he’s the PR rep assigned to launch her new flower shop. She’s determined to keep their relationship professional. No way is she giving into the temptation named Zack Partridge ever again. Nope. Not gonna happen.
She strives to keep her protective barricade intact, but Zack’s confession notes just might have the power to prune back the wall of sharp thorns and sneak past the sign labeled ‘Keep Out’. Can she find the courage to trust him again? And if she does, will Zack protect her heart or risk breaking it once more?

Romance can be a little complicated when you get sucked into a wormhole. Just ask high school English teacher June Flint. One little solar flare happens and suddenly you find yourself 85 years in the future. Eighty-five years from your dream job. Your ailing mother whose only companion in this world is you. Your favorite stuffed-crust pizza from DeLucia’s on Sunday nights. But when June’s cell phone inexplicably picks up a signal, she’s able to call back to the present—more specifically, four weeks before she accidentally time traveled.

It should be a dream assignment—leave my boring day-to-day routine and travel to a seaside mansion to interview superstar author Jack R. R. Bestia. Who wouldn’t want that? Me, that’s who. He has a reputation for being reclusive and temperamental, but that’s not why I’m leery of the assignment. It’s because the first (and last) time I met Jack…well, let’s just say I didn’t make a good impression. When I get to the mansion, things don’t go much better. The only way I manage to squeak in is by signing a massive nondisclosure agreement. And I soon figure out why.

After leaving the city life behind to escape my loveless marriage, I moved to small-town Havenbarrow for a fresh start. What I didn’t expect was to find myself drawn to the town’s black sheep. They called him troubled, cold, a man with a dark past. What everyone seemed to miss about Jax was the splashes of light in his eyes, the random acts of kindness he performed when no one was watching, and the way he made me smile and laugh.

The hottie in the truck, Brinn McRae, turns out to be straitlaced and so not my type. Plus, I’m not looking for romance. I have to find a job and my estranged brother.

I’ve slapped my cuffs on Luna Lancaster too many times to count and not a single one was for fun. As the sheriff of Starlight Cove, I shouldn't crave her, but I do. She’s chaos, mayhem, and sunshine wrapped up in too-tight yoga pants. The lawbreaker might have the town enamored with her free spirit, but she’s a thorn in my side, even if she is the sexiest woman I've ever seen. I want her out of my town and out of my head. Trouble is, she's made it perfectly clear she's not going anywhere.

When you say you're a sexologist, people imagine Marilyn Monroe. They don't expect a woman who uses a wheelchair. As the host of the All Access Podcast, I'm breaking barriers, crushing stigmas, and creating sexual connections that are fulfilling for my fans. Only, I've hit a snag. A lovely listener wants some advice about accessible rope play and I'm drawing a big fat blank. Which leaves me with no option but to get out there and give it a go. Which is how I meet Jay Wood - rigger, carpenter, and all-around hottie.

Story
Years before Trip Wiley could be seen on movie screens all over the world, he could be seen sitting in the desk behind me in my high school English class. This was back in 1990, and I cite the year only to avoid dumbfounding you when references to big hair or stretch pants are mentioned. Although, come to think of it, I am from New Jersey, which may serve as explanation enough. We were teenagers then, way back in a time before anyone, himself included, could even dream he'd turn into the Hollywood commodity that he is today.

WHAT IT'S ABOUT
A disastrous prom. Eight years apart. Now that Laura’s back in town, can Zack win her heart again?
Zack Partridge broke his best friend’s heart at senior prom. He was crushed when she left for college, vowing never to speak to him again. But now that she’s back in Crystal Creek, he wants nothing more than a second chance to win her heart.
Laura Anderson can’t believe her bad luck. How did she buy the house next door to the man she had sworn to avoid? Even worse, he’s the PR rep assigned to help launch her new flower shop. Could things get any worse? Laura strives to keep her heart barricaded, but Zack’s confession notes just might have the power to make the walls crumble. Can she allow herself to trust him? If she does, will he keep her vulnerable heart safe or shatter it once more?
MY TAKE
This was such a sweet second chance romance. Ferguson does a great job rebuilding the old friendship and the confessions were so fun! Swoony resolution! And Cindy Gunderson did a great job with the narration.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
