But all that changes when I get some devastating news, and I’m forced to return to the small town I grew up in.

The only spark of light in these dark days is getting to reconnect with Jade Quinn. She and my baby sister Hayley have been best friends since middle school. But Jade isn’t the same little kid I remember.

She’s all grown up. She might also be the only person in town other than my sisters who doesn’t hate me.

The more time I spend around Jade, the more she draws me in. But starting something with her, knowing that I’m leaving, won’t be good for either of us. And I can’t cross that line with my little sister’s best friend… Can I?

Jade:
All I’ve ever wanted to do is run my family’s convenience store. It’s right in the center of a town I love, and it’s packed full of memories of my childhood—and my mom. The problem is, we’re going out of business. Fast. And my best friend Hayley’s family owns the store that’s stolen all our customers.

It gets worse. Hayley’s infamous older brother Dylan just moved in next door.

Dylan King has an awful reputation—even his sister warns me to stay away. Except when I’m around him, all my instincts scream the opposite.

With a business to save, I really don’t have time to date, and I don’t want to jeopardize my friendship with Hayley.

But what if the worst man in town turns out to be the greatest guy I’ve ever met?
