Keep your enemies closer, maybe, much closer.

Another day, another doll. Jackie Leeder makes the most of her one-night “bang-and-runs” when her high school tormentor crashes her bar scene. After some serious groveling from Ann Carter–formerly Annie (FN) Banks, Jackie must decide if she wants to hear out her apology fifteen years late.

But Jackie’s soft spot is for kids. And a playful, chance encounter with a little guy lost in a grocery store drops her in close proximity with the one woman she swore she’d set on fire if she ever saw her again. A fragile friendship forms around good times with Ann’s spunky son until she balks at Jackie’s love ‘em and leave ‘em lifestyle. Jackie doesn’t think she’ll mind the silent treatment.

Until she gets a panicked call from Ann pleading for help with her son.

With her eye on getting out of her rut and her hometown, will Jackie bail on long-term love, or forgive their past and see Ann for the changed woman who’s fallen for her?
