He came home to save the family resort. Facing the girl he left behind was not part of the plan.

When Austin Belgrave returns to Jasper Ridge, Minnesota to help revitalize his family’s resort, he’s determined to prove himself—especially to his father. Being tasked with overseeing a major renovation could be the opportunity he needs to do just that. But there’s one minor complication: the interior designer leading the project is Desiree Lawrence—the girl he ghosted years ago.

Desiree is excited for the chance to redesign the historic Bluewind Resort. The high-profile job could give her fledgling business the visibility it needs, while letting her stay close to her ailing mother. But working side by side with Austin, the guy who broke her teenage heart, is not what she signed up for.

With a Valentine’s Day wedding looming and the pressure mounting, Austin and Desiree must navigate tight deadlines, unexpected setbacks, and a chemistry that refuses to stay in the past. As sparks fly and old wounds resurface, Austin risks losing more than just the project. If he fails this time, it won’t just be the resort on the line—it’ll be his last chance to win her heart.
